Will try to do a quick SBS if i can. Rebuilt man's body, waist/belt-line, and arms. Quite a chore. Added fish-tank, fish and gravel to the tank. Gave the water a blue tint and used a "waster-splash" brush that was customized with Warp and Resize to make the water surface line. "Spherized" the man where the fish tank is over him to try to emulate water distortion. Added new hands from another source image. (5 years and 627 days ago)

I'd follow her around too. 
I was thinking of calling her the hot harpist but that title doesn't tell the same story.

The Earth and Nature goddess. (5 years and 791 days ago)
Figure needs a reflection, shadows are wrong. Look at the shadow under the chin for original light source.
There are already reflections in the water. Can't you see them? It has the statue reflection and the starfish reflection and also the cloud reflection in the water. As for the shadows, they are following the same angle as the shadow on the knee and chin. See that knee shadow? It is heading slightly to the left. The chin shadow seems to be going straight down so I figured I needed to use both source shadows to make my own shadows. I made the ivy leaf and starfish shadows aim down and slightly left. The dark area you see above the leaves on the knee are cracks in the statue. Those areas are holes. The ivy is growing through those cracks.
Now if you still think the shadows are wrong, which way do you think they ought to go if not slightly down and to the left?
The light source is almost overhead. I'd make the shadows lower and more to the right. I'd also make the reflection more visible.
I moved the shadows 6 pixels more to the right and 3 pixels further down and made the reflection more visible for you.
Thanks for your help CMYK.
Congratulations...

There's so much attention to detail here. It feels like a real, solid object. Especially the depth in the head and shoulders with the way you can see through into all the mechanical interiors.
Thank you very much Tina and thanks for the favourite as well.
Congrats Angel.

Beware of dangerous giant bees. (5 years and 873 days ago)
Author, the cloud source given does not appear to be the clouds used.
Sorry. It's fixed now.
Shadows are wrong. With that light source the bee wouldn't have a shadow in this image, and the shadows of the figures in background should give a better idea of the shadow the girl would cast.
Thanks. Fixed.
Well, to me this looks just fine, shadows and all. I like the tonal range that melds into each other....it doesn't look pasted on but real.
Thank you Still.

Mahalo brother. Actually rushed that one out real fast. Wasn't even sure I could rebuild him to remove the box. Sorta pleased with it, but it could have been so much better with more work.
Congrats BW
