Life can be mean sometimes ;)

Please view in high res, will add SBS tomorrow.

When I saw the source, I couldn't help but to think of a mermaid. Had never done an underwater scene before so I went for the challenge... Have to submit the picture because I don't know if I have the time to work on it again this week. I know, the girl looks kind of "static", don't know how to make her look like she's moving without blurring the image to death. On top of that, my last efforts only seemed to make everything worse so I "resigned" and submitted. Hope you enjoy it anyway.

out from the deep blue sea to save the man she loves

The original exhibit was popularized by circus great P.T. Barnum, but has since been copied many times in other attractions, including the collection of famed showman Robert Ripley. The original exhibit was shown around the United States, but was supposedly lost in the 1860s when Barnum's museum caught fire. The exhibit has since been acquired by Harvard University's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology and is currently housed in the museum's attic storage area.
