Tiger Barbs and Neons

I tried for ages to get these, fish aint the easiest subjects, they're worse than birds, constantly on the move, twitchin, but I think I cracked the old reflection problem, go right up to the glass so the flash beam can't get into the lens.
Also, forget autofocus, it's a nightmare, do it manually.









PS: The colours are natural, I've not enhanced them in any way.
