The silhouettes make it for me...I think the water-related stuff is interesting, eerie and beautiful, but the fact that the people in foreground seem fascinated completes the circle. Well done.

This is outstanding. You've transformed a fairly common aquarium scene into a truly interesting composition about a family experiencing the exhibit. This image really draws me in. The blues are especially great and the people making up the negative space make the shot. 5's.

For me the image is not really minimalist, there is a lot going on. I'm not particularly taken with the monotone treatment. I would prefer to see it in its original colours, perhaps with the saturation increased to bring out the colours in the aquarium.

Thanks for the comments all. I confess less than 3 for relevance sort of mystifies me...

@duncmc - this actually is not monotone; I enhanced the hue and saturation a touch, but did not otherwise play with the colours. It was blue in the original (it is deep, being a shark tank).

Very nice Craig, I only just saw it. Too bad you didn't post it earlier.
