Description

My thing for the Teen Chllenge: Last Teen standing! It's an ancent fish slumbering in a bog. This picture has so many layers and I'm worried it looks like a mess. I still have 2 days before it needs to be submitted so critique is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED!

Wonderful use of color on the fish! Its little teeth are cute too.
My advice would be is to find a definite light source. From what I see are these lights that come off everywhere. The lights are on the fish, but they are also in the scenery. The black is also too top-heavy. You make the picture as if there are two different pieces in one. You could possibly add black on the bottom rocks, add a higher contrast to the fish, and pretty much anything else on the bottom half. It's way too pale comparing to the top. Also add more vegetation to the bottom half to add a similarity to the top.
Since the contrast in the background is a lot higher, it pops out even more than the fish itself.
Try to make the background more pale because of what you have is the complete opposite.
Use different perspectives. Your pictures are mostly pretty flat and you could possibly try using different point of perspective and try out different angles.
There, now fix it and good luck!
Holy crap I think I'm too late.... AHHH!!
