First time photographing coral!

What do you guys think? This was taken with just the standard iPhone 8 camera. No app or lens. I think it could be a little clearer.

It looks pretty good. I like warming up the colors with a photo editing tool to reduce the effect of the blue lighting.

Try shooting parallel to the glass to get a bit less distortion in ur pic.

I have a bowfront so it’s not really possible, but thanks for the tip for any future tanks that I have!

Nice pictures. I think upping the brightness could really help

I would turn the blues down a little bit more, and was the picture taken while the phone wasn’t parallel to the glass? It seems a little bit of light was bent... if you lay the phone flat against the tank it makes the image much clearer as it doesn’t bend the light. I’d also maybe crop it. And as someone else said above make it brighter. Otherwise great! And nice subject/positioning
EDIT: I just saw you have a bow front, those are hard to shoot with, but looks great! Making it brighter and a bit less blue could help with fuzziness
