I also posted this on ConceptArt.org and have made some of my own changes based on info from both here and there.
Basically I've toned done my blue layer and added some red in that shadows.
My big issue is that the monotone approach is more realistic, but boring. The deep water an angler fish is in kills all light except for the glowing "lure" of the fish.
I took out the realism for the sake of drama+cool factor.
I added some blood in the water to direct the eye and got some advice to add fish bits, but I think adding the fish would A. slap people in the face that it's blood B. become distracting
