aheman says:
make the drop-shadow fall on the bed (not on the wall or side of kid)
add left-to-right, darken the kid's left side using "burn" or other method... you have to look at what direction the light source is....
the monster should only have the claws and portion of his chin in the light, the rest should be darker since under the bed 
idea is great
Sweet, but the child doesm't look like a fish (as it has a distinct skull oriented 90 degrees from the neck) and what's with her headgear? The orange flame-like thing in the background distracts by being the same color as the central characters.
As I didn't get the little one's head right I had to go with a cap/headgear. I tried to fix the head but in vain
And the flame-like thing is the tail 
.
Funny....by the way, Dan --- that orange "flame-like thing" is the goldfish's tail and this photo would look strange if she didn't have one!
Sweet, author!
I love the pretty tail !!!! good luck author
Superb drawing skills & nice tail .GL
It's most obviously a tail to me. I like her little hat, she must be a newborn - got a pic of my neighbors' new baby girl with a similar hat. Sweet image and fine painting, author!
overall a nice image. A couple of nitpicks would be for some of the edges to be a bit sharper and for the catchlights in the eyes to be a bit brighter. Good Luck Author!
Thanks for the suggestion. I fixed as much I could in the little time I had,as I am busy. I brightened the catch lights in the little one's eyes and left the big guy's eyes as it is since I want his eyes to be weary and dull.
Gorgeous! I love the glazed look on the grandparent's face opposed to the perky wide-awake expression on the little one. The tail looks really good and balances the picture perfectly.
Wide-awake expression was exactly what I had in mind while painting the little one's eyes. I am glad that I accomplished that.
. Thanks a lot for the comment and fav.
Thanks photogirl723, Drivenslush, samanway,pearlie
amazing work author, i love the colouring of this image and my 6 year old just asked where fish get books from lmao
I really don't know what I would tell a 6 year old if I were asked that. Thinking hat on.... I would lie to them that the fish got it from an underwater bookstore just like we lie about tooth fairies. I guess there is no harm in that right?
Congrats for making it to the next round
Congrats.

Howdie stranger!
