Great pics!! Love the Frontosa!! [smilie=bowdown.gif]

Great pics man, I agree on the Frontosa. A small comment though. Your pics could benefit a tiny bit from a little software manipulation. Here is one example with the steps I took.

Here is your original pic:

Here is what I came up with:

I took the original to Photoshop 7 and cleaned up a little sharpening up the details not worrying too much about the noise.

then I used Neat Image (www.neatimage.com) and did the final noise removal tweaking with auto settings to come up with something a bit crisper, dont you think?

Thanks for the feedback.

Admittedly, I didn't really do much touch-up work on that picture, but to express some comments back:

Positive:
1) I like the way the scales are sharper.
2) Your colors are a bit nicer.
Negative:
1) I don't like the way the eye turned out with it's pixelization.
2) Same thing with the lower fins...they just don't look like fins.
3) You've created a dark and/or light outline on the fish.

Let me try some some of my normal darkroom processing and see if you like it better.
