Struggling against the monster water elemental

The only advice or comment I care to share about this excellent render is this, I don't know what your intention or goal was here and all I can offer is a look through my eyes, One of the things that poser has made me do is I look at real life through different eyes...I pay very close attention to shadows, without this our whole life would be in 2D. I examine how light frames things, shapes them, defines them. What does it look like in the distance, in the mid ground, in the fore ground. How does the shadow interplay with light.  I am just passing on my thoughts in hopes you find them helpful.. The best art instructor I ever had, used to sneak up behind me in drawing class and ask, "Is that what your truly seeing." Then you got approximately 5 seconds to find your mistake and point it out to him. If you didn't see it or pointed to the wrong thing or area he would simply say, "What a pity!" and walk off and pay no more attention to you for the rest of the three hour class..... I hated that fellow for a very long time...lol  Then one day it hit me what that nasty, crafty fellow was doing, he was training my eye to see what most of us take for granted or over look. A very useful skill no matter what your rendering style is....
