Hello Tom,
very interesting picture, it makes me ask myself many questions. How big are they, like 3-4 inches each or more like one foot each? I was also wondering how to take such pictures underwater, then I read your note and even after I noticed the reflections in the glass. I like the numerous details of the fishes, and their colors too. The blue of the water offers a nice backdrop providing sharp contrasts.
I think this is a rather simple composition. By definition, it should be simple(really??!!:D). I mean that it would be very easy to simplify things up here by cloning out some details:the reflections, the parts of the fish in every corners...ahh, too hard to explain, let me show you with a workshop:D

Best regards,

Marc

The composition is lovely! Very crisp for being behind a glass (I assume since it is an aquarium.)

Hi Tom,
It's a wonderful compo, with a touch of abstract. Beautiful colours and graphic arrangement.
