The first photo is the original. I used the patch tool to take that coral like structure (upper left), and paste it onto the fish's body. It looks as if you can see into part of the fish that way. I used the patch tool to take yellow dots off of the fish and move them around the page. It balances out the photograph and adds interest.
The first photo is the one where I used dodge and burn, the second is the original. The corrected one stands out more, but the original has a more fuzzy texture. I'm not sure which one I like better.
For the picture, I adjusted the saturation, vibrance, exposure, levels, brightness, contrast, and color balance. The bottom one is the corrected version.
