This is a very good image, composition, and presentation.

Details from Highlight to mid-tones and dark areas to blacks, give it a full tonal range.

A challenge for an artist can be to make their work look as good online as the original subject or better, you have done very well.

Reviewers review what we see, as my time is limited, have only time to review, subjects or images I like and then try to give helpful suggestions.

Sharpening is important.
Any changes in a digital, even re-sizing causes a loss of sharpening. So final sharpening after all changes are made, can make them look the way we want...

You have a well sharpened image that give it a bit more punch.

I love the colors and the shading in this picture. The angel fish are beautiful and look textured. The swirls give the picture depth. Very beautiful.

I like the color scheme overall, and particularly the way the colors interact as they refract through each other. And those fractals...have you ever wondered how paisley came to be such an integral design element several thousand years before fractals?

There is a song, By the sea, by the beautiful sea. But yours is in the sea. I love the fishes. Nice design and colors. There seems to be rolling sand dunes in the sea which there really are. Lots of small sea creatures of all kind. The long stuff on the leaf remind me of long sea weed that grows to the top of the sea. Every thing is shaded to a pleasant soft texture or roundness. Colors are varied and intensity.

Nice creation implementing the sea world. Design and details are good with the vivid colors. Salt water fish seem to have more vibrant colors than fresh water. Thanks for sharing.

It's nice to see your work back on line! This is a stunning art work. Beautifully and very cleverly created. I see some fractal images in the background. Creatively rendered, with the painted tropical fish adding impact and colour. The colours are perfect, soft and pretty just like a tropical sea. Lovely!

This is a very well done digital art piece. The color scheme is vivid and bright with colors at their maxima chroma. The color contrast is dynamic. The design and patterns in the background are flowing and add a lot of action to the composition keeping the eye contained to the artwork. I don't think it's abstract in that I can see know objects such as the fish. To me it's a fantasy drawing of an aquarium and I like that very much. The presentation is very good and I would like a little story to go with it, perhaps your ideas for creating it. Thanks for sharing your talent.
