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)

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

Such bizarre creature that come from the seas, but so fascinating, and maybe even a little bit beautiful. Very nice photograph, great color!

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

Good composition, color, and focus. Not crazy about the tentacles hanging out of the frame, but that is just a personal thing, I guess.
