 I think that this fish is a Regal Tang, but I could be wrong

I had trouble with focus on a few outtakes, but I think this one came in ok. I'm not sure why there is a blur on the tail fin, the shutter speed should've been fast enough to stop the motion, unless he was in the process of taking off again...

Fish looks flat and his tail is cut off (OUCH!) - I think you could have done a better job with a few more shots.

Great fish picture. I've been trying to do some of mine and I have a hard time with the big ones. I did get some of one of the fish but of course he died a couple days later. Great job with this photo.

Considering the difficulty factor alone you deserve at least an 8. The border is a little distracting to me, and I would have liked to see the rest of his tail.

What happened to his tail??? That is a great color. The pic seems a little fuzzy, my guess is the glass may have been giving you problems.
