I've always loved composites and manipulations. This one in particular struck a chord with me, as I love drawing water and experimenting with water lighting effects such as caustics.
The lighting effects below the surface are quite well done, although I personally would have liked to see the underwater scene get darker towards the edge of the picture. This would help to convey a greater sense of 'depth', not of the water, but of the scene itself.
The above water scene is also quite well designed. However, the pirate ship and cliffs appear pixelated at full size. The transition of the water line also really looks pixelated, and doesn't appear. Pixelation and other artifacts can really make or break a composite such as this.
Overall, I really like the idea and design of it all. I would advise practicing shading and making sure that all visual artifacts are either removed or seriously down-played.
In conclusion, great work! :3

Thank you for this critique. You were dead on. Shading and placing shadows correctly is a weakness of mine. And tips on how to better improve them?

May I ask what program you use?

I like the concept very much a few things you could improve on though. The first is the water right up at the camera, it looks too splashy, you should make it more of a line, the bottle looks out of place I think you need a higher res image or more detailed bottle. I personally think you should rid of the ship, and just leave that one "secret" element I like how you made it glow and everything, very nice. One last thing is that I think you could create a more detailed coral floor by maybe photomanipulating several coral images to make an awesome floor with fishes! All those suggestions are of my own opinion and would probably be hard to do (not just for you for me too), but I think that you could add so much more to this beautiful concept and idea
