The first one is my favorite. I love the lighting and color as well as the awesome focus. I love what you did with the background. The second is my second favorite. What a cool looking fish. I like this one for the same reasons as the first exept I don't find the straight on angle as pleasing as the first. Nice job!

As noted it is the photographer that takes great photos. But that little Panasonic DMC TZ3 can take super photos with its Leica lens and 10 x zoom. I also saw some of your posts taken with that camera in my thread on Quality using compact cameras. Thank you for illustrating my point that excellent photos can be taken with compact cameras.

I am sorry to say I forgot the name.I believe this fish lives in a river in South America.It was sized as a large carp.

Thank you for the compliment but you are giving me too much of a credit.I did not do anything with the background,there was simply no light.The ugly fish (sized as a large carp) was barely illuminated,I still cannot believe how the photo turned out. The crystal beauty was in a spotlight,fish size about 2inches long.

Thank you for your kind comment.There were times when I would not touch a pocket camera with a 10` pole.Lazy to carry my big cameras to Europe I decided to give a try to TZ3.Honestly I did not expect much.I really pushed the camera`s limits and the results blew my socks off. Now I upgraded to pocket Panasonic ZS7 and carry it with me all the time.The buck photo was taken in a very strong backlight with ZS7 and slightly touched up in postprocessing.

You will not find this one in an aquarium.

Pardon me for posting one of my Panasonic DMC TZ3 shots on your thread. I was terribly frustrated with the inability to do any manual adjustments, but soon found a way to work around them using Program and the +/- adjustments. This is one of my best shots taken with the Panasonic. It is a composite of two exposures and was taken at sunrise on a tripod.

As far as I am concerned there is nothing to pardon you for.You are welcomed to throw in any photos anytime.As a matter of fact I would like you to do so more often.I did it to others without knowing I need to apologize for it,I thought everybody is OK with it.The photo you enclosed caught my eye on the other thread,it does not get any better,period.Kind of reminds me Napali coast,Hawaii.Yes,TZ3 had limitations but ZS7 is a big improvement with pretty much everything but a kitchen sink.The only feature I do not use is GPS.No website?????

No, I do not have a website, except on RedBubble, Viewbug and Eyefetch. If you insist I will post some shots, but I have since gone the DSLR (Nikon D90) route. Here are some on my shots from the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga.
