Reds travel the least far in water. that is why all the scuba diving footage you see always seems strongly shifted toward the blue.

I think they will seem more realistic if you shift them toward the purple and cut back a little bit on the saturation.

Edit: From an artsy fartsy compositional perspective, folks down at the galleries usually tell me not to have lines leading straight into the corners. Foreground stuff that will draw the eye like lava flows (or fishes) can be placed in an "S" curve going in toward the focal point and it will draw people in subconsciously.

I agree with Arttorney, and if you put some fishes, try to repeat them in different places in the image to increase the sense of scale. With those fishes on the foreground, your city seems to be very small.
By the way, nice job on the ice and the water. Keep going!

    When you are posting there is a black paperclip on a green square in the upper right. You can ust that thing to make your image appear full size wherever your cursor is.

    Why not make it like there are fish you can't see in the dark but they have bioluminescent spots you can see. I mean like faintly outlined fish with phosphorescent spots.

    yah definitely... is just like since the outline of the water line and the horizon lines are so up high if i make anything in the foreground...is gonna make the city too smal for its scale...so ill have to make the fish far away as well.....

    also what u think of this...sicne i have that black space on the bottom im making an atlantis logo and make the actual image like a poster for a better presentation...maybe have columns run up on the side and have the water hittin them and interact with it...
    what u think?

    Well, really huge scale columns just extending into frame on either side could help to frame your composition and also give a telephoto lens impression that might help make the city seem far away.

    ohh ok ok....i did the research...thanks
    i was also thinking maybe doing it more panoramic and then addind icebergs on the sides that are way closer to the viewer (blured out) so it helps with framing the image and also making the city look further away and bigger...

        From arttorney: When you are making a post there is a green square in the upper right that you can click to put your image wherever your cursor is in your post. It will be more convenient for viewers if you scale your images to be less than 800 pixels wide.
