The posing, the flow, definitely some of the best work I've seen here!
Romantic scene. :)
Very lovely image .Very cool work
Considering his yellow tie is around his waist, what is the floating one? I also think that there needs to be stronger shadows where their bodies are touching- like his hand in her hair and her body held against his, etc. I think it would make it stand out and seem more 3D. Also, it looks like they are laying on something, but I dont see anything for them to lay on. And if it was the bottom of the ocean- would there still be the light reflections from the surface? Really like the pose though and nice expressions.
Absolutly enchanting.!!!!
the floating scarf is usually around his head. they are settling towards teh bottom, they just haven't landed yet
Looks like her fingers are slightly webbed...great! I love that feature on mermaids. Though, I think more extensive webbing adds to the exotic look!
