I don't know about this image. It has a curve or two but they are not evident enough to make an impact.

Comment by tpbremer:
yes, please. But seriously, I'd like to see this shot maybe at sunset, with maybe a fill flash on the signs.

Great colourful choice for composition. Slight murkiness and noise lets it down.

I like the variety of color, the fish should be more in focus.

hmm relaxing... a bit too much maybe.

To my eyes the dof of focus is off. I am drawn to the blue shell/coral in the front not to the fish. Of course, by the title, you could have done that on purpose :)

The colours are great but the subject is a bit confusing and nowhere does the eye land naturally in this photo.

'A' for effort. Taking a picture through aquarium glass is difficult.

From the Critique Club:

For your first entry I think you did pretty good. The quality of this image is above a 4.85.

You did a number of things right. The eyes are sharp and are almost on the thirds line which is good. You caught a good expression. And the background is very nicely out of focus.

I think the one thing that would really improve this photo is the cropping. The almost square crop takes away. The out of focus part of his back on the right does not add much so you could crop it out and make a more rectangular image.

The overall image needs to be sharpened. In post processing it could probably also use some contrast and levels adjustments and some work on the eyes to make them 'pop'. Congratulations on your new camera. Keep up the good work.
