The Little Mermaid reborn

She was a typical Little Mermaid cosplayer, planning on posing for some photos near the beach to put up in her DA account. Unfortunately, the sea thought that she was the reincarnation of Ariel, rightful ruler of the lost kingdom of Anlantica who left the sea for centuries. Not delaying any longer, the sea casts it's spell in a breeze, which turned her into a real mermaid. After she realizes her transformation, the sea whispered to come back and take her place in the throne. Staring down at the ground one last time, she thinks about her decision whether or not she'll swim into the ocean, leaving her land friends behind as if she'll never see them again.

My first photo-manipulation after a long time, involving NecroticSniper's Little Mermaid photo after granting permission to edit the photo. I think that the photo turns out good after spending 1-2 hours on it. The two hardest parts while working on the manipulation are finding a suitable fish (out of all the sources I have) and working with the tail, which isn't exactly close as MaSi's mermaids. Overall, it's a good photo-manipulation unless you could complain about the fish tail detail. My apologies. Maybe I'll try better at photo-manipulation by spending more time perfecting the fishtail, making it as real as possible.

Used MaSi's tutorial while working on this (same link as to the fish tail).

Update: I've polished up the image some more to avoid minor errors commonly discovered in the image. For those of you who saw the original image, please tell me if the newer image is any better?
