Dear Gustav.
Looks like you had a good time in the Maldives, I especially like the manta-shot and the black and yellow nudiebranch.
If I was to give any pointers, I would say that you should try to get lower, and possibly to get some more blue behind your subjects. The frogfish photo is nice, but imagine if you didn't have that cluttered background, then that gorgeous red frogfish would really stand out, maybe consider using a snoot for shots like that? Of course I realize that this is not always possible without damaging the reef which is, in my opinion far more important than getting that special photo. Also I think you could crank down the color-temperature a little, especially when you have lots of red & orange sponges.
On a last note, the photo where you have the little nudiebranch in your hand/your dive-guides hand, unless the little thing actually swam up on your hand (which i doubt) then I think you should consider wether this is appropriate to do and to upload on a forum where conservation has as a rather high priority.
Hope you can use my advice, I mean, who am I to judge.
Best regards, Morten
