It's a good shot but it seems underexposed.

I personally think the photo is mint as it is. If you could, boost the vibrance of the orange, and call it a day. Nice shot!

i think the biggest thing for other people is that this is how it appears in person, esposure can be tweaked but whitebalance, well, the colors are similr...hard to replicate

LOL. Facepalm? Seriously, Robert.P? Care to elaborate?

Since when did accurate white-balance dictate a photos correctness? I suppose creative expression means little to you. I'd be curious to see the original RAW or the photo with a accurate to real-life WB.

I offered my critique - which mind you - was positive. You offered yours - which was negative, and rather blunt. Seriously. Shove off.

Since when does critique need to be positive?

little bit faster shutter speed and have all the fish showing instead of being partially blocked would be much better. good picture though.
