You have been visited by a Critmas Fairy! We fairies are trying to show the world we can give critique to others without being downright criticising, as per the spirit of CRITmas (fav.me/daqfq97 ). Mind if I just hop on to business, then?
First things first: I think it's a very imaginative and engaging piece and I like your cool light a lot. What I can see from the splash (the dA watermark makes that a tad hard to see) seems very realistic also.
Now then. I DO spot some things I have issue with, if you don't mind me saying. The biggest of these is, I think, the angle of the right side of the basin/water: it doesn't seem to match that of the opposite edge, leaning forward in an awkward way.
The part of the moon in the background that is whitened seems to need some more lovin', as well: it is strangely opaque and not quite following the moon's form.
The treasure chest, lastly, seems a bit off also. I think its edges are too dark in places, making it seems 'stuck on' rather than part of the rest of the ocean floor. For that reason, I also think the patch of coral and sponges there has maybe too dark a shadow on the bottom - makes it look very distinct from the surrounding material.
I also wonder if a bit of light from the back shining through that water would reach the ground in front of the water-block or not; like light shining through a marble onto the floor, if you will. Maybe for now I think it'd be best to leave that out, because it might be quite tricky and a distraction to boot.
That's all I've got. Congratulations again on the dreamy, lovely piece you've got here and I hope the New Year will see you make plenty more of these.
Cheers;
BATTLEFAIRIES
(PS: Don't mind the stars; I always give everyone plain 3.5's because I don't think the dA rating system is adequate for all deviations, the way I see it)

This work is much better than the other one you showed me (in my opinion). I especially like that floor, fits perfectly with the background. Character placement is very good too, I like the interaction with the dolphin. I think I would switch the anchor with the chest though. The anchor looks to be out of the water and the chest stands on a slope (it should be on a straight part).

No problem, one more little thing btw. The dolphin should be placed a little more to the front (that way it will look more as if the dolphin is coming towards her hand). Anyways, really nice piece!

I really like the composition in this piece. It seems like the girl is actually in the aquarium. I would like to see a little more going on underwater, with less even spacing of fish (maybe a school?) Overall really great!

I really like the composition of this piece. The shape of the water in that cube is a really cool effect. I'm not very good with photomanipulations, but I will say the bubbles under the treasure chest our main character is on look a little out of place. Also, the place where her hand goes into the water doesn't quite work with the angle we are looking at. She is in a profile view to us and based on her hair on the arm, it doesn't look like her arm is crossing in front of her but just straight out. This also can be said about the dolphin she is interacting with in the water who is a little more toward the back. I would say just have the place where her arm goes in the water be farther back on the surface of the water.
This is a great job overall though. It is a very striking image. Awesome work!

Thanks for your critique. It is really helpful. I am not an expert in photo manipulations, I have starting to do this 3 months ago and your comment is really helpful. This is the most complex photo manipulation that I ever made. Thanks again.
