Some parts I like with it and some I don't, but thats me. What I really would like is feedback from some other par of eyes. I'm sorry about the watermark.

Hey Vemund. I find the image very interesting. Good composition and overall a good result. The main thing that distracts from the image though is the amount of floating particles. I think if just that alone was removed it would be a really great image. I always make a point to have my water and glass as clean as possible before any shoot. I also don't feed for 24hrs prior to shooting my fish to guarantee particle free water. IMO it really makes a difference to the final image quality.

I agree with greenterra.Get rid of those particles in water.
And i really like the composition to. It really makes a dramatic feeling when being watched

Thanks for the reply! I was thinking of keep the spots to give the impresion of dark murky water with a lot of detrius and particles, but you are right they are more disturbing than anything else.

Very interesting (good) image - it realy draws the eye into it.

Take it into photoshop and spend 10 minutes with the spot heal tool.. and Voila! Once you get rid of the particles, i think it's a winner.

I love it as is

I agree about the spots.

Also, the bottom of the fish needs more light. Having large areas of black with no detail detracts from the image. There should be some detail.

A bit more light into his mouth would have been great.....possibly seeing some teeth.

Keep it up.
