Wow, this is a beautiful submerged feel. I love the floating orange hues, not only in her hair, but also in the ribbons of kelp(?) floating down besides her. The movement in this image is masterfully created, with the downward flow, the rippling of the hems of her dress, and the swimming of fish around her feet like a fluid dance to a harmonious accompanying melody. The prevalent orange against the black is a nice way to enhance the sort of beauty and floating freedom (the feeling of defying gravity, the cool, tender lapping of water against one's skin...) of being underwater - of being one with the water and its flow. As someone who enjoys swimming and spends ample time underwater, I think you did wonderfully with this scene!
