After suggestions mad by greymval and Jawshoewah, I added a blue layer over whole image because I liked how it looked over the entire picture. I also fixed area on hip refined a shadow in the stomach area. Added a very minor amount of noise over mermaid's body and tried to blend edges of starfish. Hopefully its a bit better now
