I love the composition and subject. I'd suggest bumping up the contrast a bit, though, to make the fisherman stand out more.

I see you!

I wanna know how to make my photos look like paintings. This one could be a watercolor. The colors and textures are so soft and beautiful!

Where did the land go?

Count me among your fans on this, Judi. I think it's spectacular. I don't understand where the mermaid was shot, though - on a rock that was underwater when you took the other shots? Hmm?

The DPC score, and much more so the histogram, shows a community still very divided over this style vs. "normal" photography. Regardless, this is a fantastic piece of art, so be proud of it!

Hi Leah. I've admired this shot many times, so decided to comment at last. :)

I think this is a great example of taking an interesting composition and then making it sing through editing. The "real" colors really don't matter here.

As for noise at ISO 50, I've had similar problems with the same camera. It usually happens in the sky.
