1/4 second...well done.
Very clear image with nice tone!

Very nice critter, It gets more and more difficult to spot seahorses in the wild, as they get caught for traditional medicine purposes.

However the difficulty with macro photo is to get the most important part sharp : unfortunately the eye area is a bit on the soft side while the foregournd body parts are razor sharp, either 2.8 was too wide (but you couldn't go slower than 1/4) or you had to focus beyond the closest body parts spot on the eyes.

Splendid colors and sharpness. Very clear but we do have the feel of water. The texture of the seahorse is well rendered too.

This is the most stunning shot I have seen in a long time. The colours are wonderful, the subject is awesome, these creatures are one of the most amazing in the world, fantastically well done.

What an amazing and interesting photo. Very sensitive and with good looking details. I like it much. TFS
