  Dear Vincent,
Thank for your latest submission to the UWP contest 
You've requested a critique of your photo. How it works :
I will structure my critique into a few chapters and will list some suggested solutions to problem zones ( if there are any ). My critique will be like 2-3 posts in total, please wait with any answers until you see the note 'photo critic completed' - thanks
As we photo critics do this job as volunteers, a 'thank you' is always appreciated (no 'thanks' = no more critiques ).
Photo critiques here at UWP are meant to give a helping hand with an analytic review & to suggest solutions. The objective is to see you here as winner one day
And here we go ( critique/review starts with the next post ) !

Photo Critique
First impression
Good start, interesting shot that would be just great with a diver inside ;-)
Technical ( score from 1-6, best is 6 )
Exposure : 4, Colours: 4, Sparpness: 4, DOF ( depht of field ) : 4, Contrast : 4
Suggestions :
Warm colours, nice blue water, sharpness : Technically a successfull shot !
Composition
A working composition that could just deserve the small "extra".
Suggestions :
The soft corals following a diagonal line : this looks nice to me. The "little extra" could be a diver swimming in the blue water ( or close to the corals and watching them ). Shots like this do need a second subject as "reference".....and for this, dive buddies can be usefull ( sometimes ! ).

Subject
A beautiful coral scenery. Let's say : "a classic"
Suggestions :
5-6 years ago, a photo like this one would be a contest winner. Now, where million good pics are around it needs to go a step further....especially for the contest photographer Think of different angles, composition, lightning or something else that brings the "WOW ! effect" .
Epilogue
Welcome to the UWP contest !!! You've it made a good start and you seem to master already basics of photography techniques. As said before : Good start !! Looking forward to your next submissions ;-)
All the best,
Rico
