Wow, only three comments on this?! I'll leave you one, then :-)
I'm surprised this scored so low because it's very creative and the technicals, although they could be improved, are not that bad (in my opinion).
What I like: The bright color of the fish contrasts nicely with the dull colors of the landscape. I love how the landscape horizon is kind of skewed, while the fish is perfectly aligned with the horizontal. I like the strong variation in light, and especially the way the light is shining through the fish's tailfin.
What could possibly be improved: As noted below, the focus could be better and the dark area in the background could stand to either be blurred more or lightened up a bit. I'd love to see this with a shallower DOF. I think if the fish's body were dodged a bit, it might be just enough to make the dark background not matter.
Mostly, I think this is a really good shot that got a low score. I didn't vote, but probably would've given you a 6.
