You have some some nice images, would work on balancing some of the green out.

Not too bad for first pics! Keep at it and you'll have some real awesome shots in a matter of no-time! I like the middle shot the best.

Thanks for all of the compliments!! How would you recommend balancing out the green? I noticed the same green tint...

You can either do it with a custom white balance calibration on the cam if it has the capability (and there is a good sticky thread at the top of the forum describing the procedure) or you can do it via photoshop using a number of different methods. Manipulating tank pics in photoshop carries a bit of a stigma with some people in the hobby, but it does do the job.

Not that this is the right method, but this is 2 secs in photoshop just doing auto level and white balance adjustment for perspective.

Nice looking pictures, and even better after the photoshoping :) I've been thinking about getting the S2, do you like it?

so far I love it. I am not an advanced photographer so i was not looking for an SLR, but this camera is a great in-between camera that has a lot of features...
