Hooray for Rich!!! He's been working hard on his photography and, as you can see, is making terrific progress.

Rich, these are looking very nice. 1, 3, & 4 could be quite a bit tighter to eliminate surrounding rock/background that isn't contributing to the subject of interest. Including all of that dark background is also fooling your meter and contributing some hot areas on the coral, particularly noticeable in shot #4. In #1, the partial clove polyp is distracting. Watch your edges to eliminate those little things that take away from the subject. There also seems to be a bit of movement/lack of sharpness. Are you sharpening your jpgs?

Regardless, nice work and tremendous progress.

Thanks again Gary!
I have been taking it easy on Post processing cuz the PSE7 program is much stronger than the original CS.
I will make some adjustments to these and see how they turn out. :)
