Taken inside the hotel of Foxwood casino...picture was cropped, sharpened edges, adjusted color with curves and after much contemplation, figuring it would probably doom this image knowing the voters here, used the plastic wrap filter because it gave the shimmery look I wanted for Atlantis. Additionally, I cloned out a black spotlight in left background.

Decent color, detail and image quality. Composition is OK. Good subject for the challenge.
On the technical side the contrast is just a little weak and a simple autocontrast will add pop to the image. You might consider a color adjustment to add about 10-15% saturation to yellow, red and light blue for added viewer interest. A small amount of dodge and burn would give the image more texture.
It's an interesting photo, I'll give you that, but I have a personal dislike for "generic" Photoshop filters, and I've only found 1 or 2 uses for this particular one. The more I look, the more I'm able to look past the filter, but overall I find it a distraction.
Photo has too much going on, no real central focus to make the score jump. If the background had been faded out, not so bright would improve the picture
Very strange effect but I like it just for it's audacious weirdness. I'm not a fan of overphotoshopping though so I've docked a coupla points for that. Lovely colours, though and you've done well to retain an obvious subject in a busy image.
Mondo Bizarro. Reminds me of what our images looked like whenw e physically manipulated Sx-70 polaroid images as they were developing, pushing the soft emulsion around. Really sweet.
Creative effort. Major points for attempting it. It is, however, a little cluttered and busy for me. Not sure I can make it all out. Do like the effects you achieved on the fish and the seaweed. Fun photo.
