Water Elemental

These guys are screwed! I spent a lot of time throwing big rocks into a lake to figure out what the elemental would look like, I'm pretty happy with the result, although I do wish I could make the monster "pop" a bit more, but since water only reflects and refracts there's not much else I can do without sacrificing realism. I've already received a comment from a friend about the creature not being blue, for the love of everything, water is not blue! The skulls on sticks were placed there as a warning sign by the creator of the elemental... or they were placed there by the creator of the painting in order to balance the color and composition of the piece (both are true). This was done entirely in photoshop in about 40 hours. Hope you enjoy. As always C&C is welcome. Thanks!
