This is beautiful. Your use of color is beautiful. The grasses at the bottom seem to give off light. The fish are lovely. You can see the light toward the top which is how it really is. Lovely job and a beautiful painting.

Comment from MoonShine
this is a beautiful and surreal image here of the reef and activity of the fish, love the richness of those color tones and the depth you have achieved in the water and how the distance is apparent yet faded out of view, love the lighting and angel fish and the textural quality that is apparent in the sea bed, very creative and a joy to view, thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much. The underwater world has always something surreal to me. It's like floating in a different universe.

Comment from Ganev Smallwood
Beautiful, pretty colours in this piece cleo85. The light you have managed to capture in the water is so lovely and like you say, the things further away, look fuzzy and less clear. the reddish colours of the plant enhance the turquoises wonderfully well. Lovely work and good luck in the contest.

Outstanding work Cleo. This is simple yet so effective. I do feel that I am viewing this through a tank or underwater. The different and subtle values of blue you have used work extremely well. It almost seems to me that you have a swirling effect as well. I like that the fish are somewhat blurred - this also adds to the illusion. Very well done.

Excellent work. I love the bold colors, the tropical fish and the sense or feeling of actually being under water. You have done a very good job with this. I think this is a superb entry for this contest. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your complimentary review. The fish have their natural coloring. They are members of the Damsel Fish family native to our reef.
