    The different shades of blue are dramatic, the waves, the bubbles, the fish all make this stand out. It is beautiful!

    The initial idea is a good one, but it would have been much more effective with less number of fish at the bottom, and not as large.

    I would suggest the following:

    1. No more than 3 small fish, one fish slightly larger than the other
    two fist and positioned at two different distance to create the
    sensation of depth. (the fish size currently displayed is too large
    and distracts or overpowers the wave at the bottom of the
    circular photo.

    The purpose of the fish should be to give the illusion of the ocean
    and should therefore not detract from the main theme.

    2. The side where the wave is carrying the bottle should be sightly
    higher than the wave that precedes it to give the impression that
    the bottle and the circular photo are indeed riding the wave.
    The wave you have now is too horizontal.

    Try my suggestions and compare the improvement.

This is my best friend… we spent a week on the beach last summer and it was his first time to try surfing. It was really fun and I had fun taking his pictures too!
