Wow. There's so much I like in this picture. I l ove her design, including the fishing lure earrings, and her, uh, fish parts!



The whole picture is great. The lighting and the way the ship seems to fade into the shadows, like the other mermaids in the background, gives it a great feeling of depth and mystery.



And all the motion! Hair and fabrics swirling, the school of fish sweeping through - looking at it, you know the water is always moving! Love that fish hook floating in front of her - I have to wonder what she's planning for that fisherman!



And yes, I see the octopus, too! Gorgeous work!
