lol @michael-vincentI wasn't sure if it was cool to vote for my own - but now that precedent is set...1 vote for #1

 

[Michael Vincent]

@hnurge - It's cool to like your own artistic work, now we are neck and neck.  BTW I do think all the pictures are great!  Plus we get to play with lighting, and filters with our cameras while trying to get the auto focus to work before that fish moves again

@michael-vincent lol - no doubt - if there was a contest for photos of blurry fish shaped blobs, I'd win that for sure! At least the coral (usually) holds still...

It was between 1 and 4 for me.  I can appreciate the difficulty in capturing a fish with that clarity!
 
Still the contrast on the birds nest is awesome!  I pick 1!

I'll vote for 5. It looks like a coral in my tank.
