Is this some kind of aquarium? Because the title of the post makes me a bit confused, but maybe that was the initial intention ;)

It is :) It was that seemingly flying rock in the mid background that reminded me of an asteroid. This prompted me to increase the cosmic appearance a bit.

Now I see the background! I had to view it full size, but sure enough I can see the milky way in the background and stars in the foreground. Talking of flying rocks, have you seen the recent images of asteroid Ryugu? - https://www.space.com/41957-japan-amazing-asteroid-photos-hayabusa2-rovers.html . Definitely check that out if you haven't seen it yet.

Thanks for the link - absolutely fascinating! Thinking of the difficulty of landing a high-speed vehicle on a high-speed asteroid is simply overwhelming.

It already looked quite spacy and so I just had to add a bit more ;)

Nice composing @shaka
I would have made the background/star field a bit brighter. So there would be a little bit more depth and contrast inside.

Good suggestion, in particular left to the asteroid, the galaxy should be somewhat brighter. I do like the gloomy area to the right though. Thanks!

This is a beautiful in under water. Actually, when I grow up I’ve always wanted to be a marine biologist. MARINE LIFE IS MY EVERYTHING! I’ve interacted with a shark before. I TOUCHED IT. I’ve interacted with dolphins in sea world too. If I’m not a marine biologist I’m Gunna be so upset.

Do you really think marine life lovers go to and support facilities like the Sea World?

Wow. The transition of the fishtank aquascape into the outer space is disturbingly smooth and real. Very creative work @shaka.

Well done indeed! It would also be fun to replace the color green with a few other colors to see how that looks.

Great idea, just tried that and changed the greens into blue tones:

I think it looks much more space-like now. I also increased brightness and contrast of the star-field as suggested by @astrophoto.kevin.

I'll try to remember to vote your comment in a few days, when my VP has recovered from the HF20 wipe-out.

Cheers!

Really great @shaka
The background gives it now more depth and the stars are popping out more, well done :-)
The blue color fits very nicely, that was a good suggestion of @roused
In my opinion, this makes it look more "spacy".

Wow, that looks pretty amazing now -- very "otherworldly." Very cool idea.

Cropping it a bit can also brings out the star-field.

Oh, what colors and shades! What surfaces!
Indeed, this is not a sea or ocean depth, but it is somewhere in space ... )
