mostly with "Basic Editing" rules:
crop to 8x10 ratio
levels
hue/saturation (to make the yellows more orange)
brightness/contrast
selective color (again to get more orange and get deeper blues)
curves
cloned out some schmutz in the water and what I think is sensor dust (dammit)
flatten, USM, resize, USM, border, resize, SFW
ETA: woo hoo! Personal Best!

a really nice shot.. the color and composition is really good.what if it was verticle instead of being horizontal... may be you can try to do it that way as well to see which one would look better,, anyways, a great shot
i almost thought this was a really fancy kite/balloon but i see now that it is in fact a real jelly fish. good shot, vibrant colours and a good use of negative space
