thanks, thanks
Actually, still not as sharp as i would like to achieve.
Look at the eyes, not 100% in foucs.
All photos have been sharpened a little, as pics from digicam tends to be a bit "soft".
My typical settings on USM is Amount=100%, radius=0.5 to 0.8 pix, thres=0
For this shot, I have also darkened and blurred the background a bit to make the subject "pop" out
All fish shots are hand-held as its quite impossible to "chase" them with the camera mounted on tripod or pressed against the glass.
Since there is no film cost for digicam, i just happily snap away.
I would be smiling if i have 1 good shot in 50
