Lots of playing with levels, curves and noise ninja, color saturation and balance.

7 - Nice shot that probably can't be appreciated as much at this size. A more refined crop, minimising or 'using more' the reflections, as well as trying to get the fish to 'pop' just a fraction more, may have made this even better in my opinion. Nice and clean and the colors seem natural. Like the 'over' perspective, but perhaps like to have seen it even more 'over'/direct, if possible - apologies in advance though if this is straight over the top.
View point and perspective. You make me ponder these two terms. I like your photo but as for the perspective element, I think this is more of a view point. Perspective, as an idea, is enhanced if there are near and far objects, some of which are the same, so that the comparison in size can be seen. 6.
I've tried photos like this before and although you have done a much better job than me I still think it is too busy and no central subject so uninteresting.
