david,thk u for the indepth critique.just to clarify(and not defend myself),i did not intend this to be the usual vibrant underwater clownfish shot which included the anemone.i do have pictures like that but didn't upload it because people have seen many like them before.i wanted this to be a little edgier,more portrait like,hence the natural colours and tight shot,which is as taken,i haven't cropped it.that said i do realise it might not be what everyone expects,hope to see u soon on my page again.

Its hard to critique underwater photography since the equipment required is very specialized, and I have absolutley no experience with it... that said, I feel that the picture lacks the clean vibrant colors I expect. I also feel it is cropped a little too tight. Also, the photo does not clearly illustrate the relationship between the fish and whatever it is next to (an anemone I would guess...) Still, its a great shot, all the best too you!
