  DearAlberto,
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
Great action shot!
Technical ( score from 1-6, best is 6 )
Exposure : 5, Colours: 5, Sparpness: 3, DOF ( depht of field ) : 3, Contrast : 4
Suggestions :
considering exposure and colours
what disturbs is that this nice shrimp doesn't look sharp. This can be due to the aperture (too high), then your DOF is limited or a low shutter speed (if the subject is moving). As the eye of the moray is sharp I opt for the later. Try to have at least a 1/125s shutter in these action shots

maybe by shooting a bit upwards you could have avoided this. To get a real winning shot the best would be a nice dark background which makes your moray stand out nicely (but I know that you can't always dig a hole in the reef

Subject
great subject especially with such a colourful shrimp. Not easy though as they tend to move around all the time
Suggestions :
Watch them for a while and try to frame calmly the scene. Start with a smaller aperture so that your DOF is higher which keeps all important things in focus On the G12 that's f/8
Epilogue
You're close Keep up the good work and why not considering a pro account, which would display your beautiful pics bigger to the uwp community
Hope to see some more Italian pics soon.
All the best,
Ciao
