All pictures were shot at F1.8 apart from the last one, roaring sunshine meant F5.6 was needed lol

Critiques and feedback are welcome :D

You made good use of the thin DOF. Well done... :judge: :thumbsup:

Agreed, the DOF looks very nice. It's fun to shoot with a fast lens, isn't it? :)

I also noticed a cool color temperature in all of these. Is that a personal style thing or something you were going for? Because it's kind of a nice effect on the shiny objects like the seahorse and octopus.

pretty sure the cool temp look is when i set the temp doodah thing on my camera, the most i change per shot is ISO, F stops and shutter speeds tbh

Thanks for the comments guys, any suggestions on how they could be better?
