The drawn on look of the tail bugs me. Good luck.

Very creatively composed. Is that actual lighting, or manufactured?

Oh wow. How you did that, I don't know but it's great. This looks worthy of a National Geographic or World Wildlife spread!! Fantastic.

Great mermaid image. Good blending of the mermaid to her environment. I like the composition of elements and subject. Gotta wonder if you included the seagull because he was there or because it is a slight nod to the seagull character in Disney's Little Mermaid:-) The tail could use a tad more definition to the scales. By that I mean using adjust Shadows/Highlight/Midtones to make the shadows deeper - that would make the scales pop a bit more visually. The color hue might be a little to bright - a darker blue green akin to the color you see in the water pooling at the bottom left would have kept the colors a tad more in the realistic photo realm rather than digital art. The bottom fin is good but could be better if an actual fish tail was used and color adjusted to match the rest of the body. Still, it is an interesting tail fin for the texture invokes the idea of swirling water. Last critique is the starfish on the rock plateau doesn't quite look right registered to it's environment. It looks like an impression in the rock (flat) rather than 3D. Hmmmm, perhaps some burning of the edges to create shadows to make it 'pop up'. Still overall this I feel is an above average composition. Nice job.
