Mermaid Revision + Before and After

This composition was 'complete' several months ago, but, the original arm reaching from the left to right, towards the jelly, always bothered me.  It looked too short due to perspective from the forearm being bent toward the camera.

I've fixed that by replacing the arm with the same arm, but, from a different frame out of the same photo shoot.

Further, I've put together a before-and-after for comparison with the original shot.
