I find it weird when the plane looks abit blurred when the model is sharp and she is standing right next to it. I also think that you should lower the opacity of the shadow

The statue is a bit too tight to the left edge, but a nice find nonetheless.

The watercolor aspect is obvious with an unusually somber (not pastel!) color palette that makes the image unique. But I don't really see the gyotaku which apparently is just a largely monochromatic rubbing of the fish's surface to yield a pretty flat kind of superficial X-ray of the fish (I'm reminded of fossils) without the addition of any other elements (such as seaweed, for example).
you are right, most gyotaku are monochromatic, like a stamp and very rarely seaweed is added to gyotakus...However, the source picture didn't have enough detail (i.e. scales) to achieve that fine pattern. My mother has a gyotaku at home which is more like a watercolor image, that is why I tried it this way. Her picture was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the source. OR maybe I am just lacking skill
Thanks for the comment though, it is well appreciated!
"Less is more" applies not only to images but to titles and descriptions as well. While a gyotaku may have inspired you, it was TMI [too much information] that distracted from rather than adding to my appreciation of your entry. I would just delete the references to gyotaku.
Update: Michelle ("cloaks" on dA) was notified and sent the link
I don't know anything about gyotaku, but I would hang a print of this up in my living room.
If the writing is your name (watermark) then it must be removed as per the Rules & Guidelines.
I just replaced the picture but in the contest, the old one appears when I push "publish"....
Since it was a kanji and it is my second name that doesn't appear anywhere in my profile, I thought it was ok.
Just a bit too filter heavy for my taste, but I see where you're coming from...GL author.
