You have some cracking topside images, Jason. I love the traffic ones in the city. Terrific. You have quite an eye.
If I might offer a suggestion on the u/w ones. On some of the pics it can be hard to distinguish the critter from the background. Not easy I appreciate and something of a counsel of perfection but I'd offer two suggestions which have really helped me:
- never bother shooting down - shoot up and highlight the critter;
- and then the one I find works best: pick the background and either look for a critter on it or wait for a critter to show up. In this way you can find a backdrop which will show the subject to the best advantage. It might be a single colour coral - say an orange elephant ear sponge; or it might be a shape, say the lines of brain coral. I've found this reduces the problem of the subject getting lost in the background, can produce a more graphic, punchy image - but, yes, you might get to photograph less critters!
Like I say, counsels of perfection but they have really helped me.
Three pics which I hope help illustrate what I mean:
