I agree with harold that cloning out the bright highlights might help the image because they draw the eye so strongly. I also would like to see some focal point in the image. keep them coming!
This is beautifully mysterious. Love the colors. I have a slightly different feeling about the white highlights. Right now, they look like blank white almost like someone has taken a paintbrush to the image. What I'd really like to see is for them to look just a little more like the liquid surface that they are. I have no idea how to actually accomplish that, though.
