I buy my own photographic kit. Diving equipment manufacturers and diving services suppliers get even-handed treatment from me whether they choose to advertise in the publications I write for or not. All the equipment I get on loan is returned as soon as it is finished with. Did you know you can now get Diver Mag as an iPad/Android app?

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear on my OP so I will try again using different wording.
Above is a photo that I took myself and I like, I have edited it slightly, which consisted of a RAW conversion to TIFF ( but the image above is a resized JPEG ) I have also healing brushed out a few particles and adjusted contrast.
I am going to be getting it printed by
online printers who have printed photos for me numerous times before on Fuji Pearl paper.
What I would like, is opinions as to whether any additional PP should be done to the photo prior to sending the Jpeg 300 dpi file to the printers. The printer that it will be printed with is a Fuji Frontier 570 printer.
The printing company will take care of all the procedures that are required prior to printing.
I would also like some critique on the photo.

( I hope thats a bit clearer for you John )

Advice from Joe Cornish, well-known British (well, Yorkshire) landscape photographer, that he gave me at the weekend: look at the image against a white background, and look at it upside down, to see the light and colour divorced from the subject. A black or dark grey ground makes the image look bright, and so print too dark; the saturation is exaggerated when the image is viewed as a recognisable subject, rather than as an abstract, and so print a little dull.

After taking on board some of the comments and suggestions I have done a few adjustments in PS and slightly cropped the image to produce this.
Does this work better than the original shot.
I hope you can see it, i have been having trouble getting it to upload from Flickr and for some reason Wetpixel does not like Photobucket

I am going to get this shot printed and would like to know what improvements can be made prior to it being sent to be printed. I do not do my own printing, but it will be printed on Fuji Pearl paper. I would also like some critique on the photo as a photo.
