Yes the camera was at an angle...until I re-arrange the furniture in that room that's how the shots will come out. I did clean the glass though, and doubled the light in the aquarium itself. Won't take down the divider cuz the common O will get it's butt kicked in a matter of seconds :(

Hey man

Much better. I am sure you can tell yourself that it is. The only comment, and you already know this, that taking a shot straight on will let you crop the floor and other extra stuff out, plus you are shooting at an angle pointing down, which messes w/the right angles. I would try to find the middle and put a tripod (or a stack of books on a chair at least) Usually you would take a bigger shot trying to get it as straight as possible, then crop in software.

Yea but there's a counter and a 50 gallon tank in the way at the moment. I really think that the extra lights made a big difference. They were always there...just never wired in.
