Hi, Stacey! It's looking very cool. My eye is instantly drawn to the little cave in the coral where the contrast between the pink and blue is highest. That's very cool, and the fact that you have some fish there rewards the eye-draw. You might consider putting something else there, though, since it's the optical center of the image -- take advantage of the power of the contrast and leading lines of the drift-wood. As for lighting, my instincts say make it darker, but I think this image looks good bright -- kind of a carribean coral reef. But I'd put some kind of gel on the lighting to simulate the wave pattern that sunlight has through water. I think the bubbles to the right side of center are a bit too bright, too; if they're that far away in the water, they should be fainter. Looks very cool! Keep up the work, and keep us posted. And Merry Christmas to you, too!
