    Hey Matt,

    My favorite is the 2 tiger shrimps, usually you get only 1 in a shot, i like how the individual on the back gives depth and context, plus the front guy is super sharp. The white reflective things left & right (turnicates?) are little distractive, but might be a challenge to edit out? That’s one scenario where I’d definitely recommend a snoot with adjustable beam (masks) to isolate those 2 shrimps, or even better: 2 snoots (one lighting each).

    I quite like the Harlequin too, stunning colours and sharpness, i just wish it had more space in front. Assuming this was cropped, i’d rather sacrifice the back leg, and leave more space on the starfish/in front.

    The other 2 are less strong in my view: too much of a background on the nudi and it could be sharper I think.

    The octopus, I’d prefer it shot from a lower angle.
