Here's a nice photo taken top down. The way to get to look like it's in the water is with the use of a mask to take the photo. A good tip if you don't have a mask to place around your lens you can use a glass container that has a flat bottom.

Do you have photoshop? If so then the unsharp mask tool helps to make your images more crisp.

What photo editor are you using? Other programs likely have this same function built in.

I think part of the reason is that with a smaller tank you can get much closer with the camera and still get a full tank shot where as your tank is much longer requiring the camera to be positioned further away in order to get the full tank in the shot.
I have paint shop pro 7.
Try using "Effects->Sharpen->Sharpen More" and see if that helps any.

What resolution are you shooting at? And how are you saving your files? That photo is fairly well focued but it looks like the resolution was fairly low when the photo was taken. Try shooting at the highest resolution.

Hey Salazar this is what I found regarding your camera. "The macro setting allows users to capture images of items only 4 inches away from the lens. In addition, AVI movies can be captured at a rate of 10 frames per second with sound. " Taken from http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_...fuji_a350.html
It's going to be under your menu/ok button... that will allow you to set the macro mode I believe. Let me know how if it works out. Otherwise I'll get ahold of one and find out exactly.
