Deepsea Shepherdess - color feedback?

Hi everyone, I’ve just finished a new design that I’ll be submitting soon. Hope you like it (put a lot of elbow grease on that one) and I’d appreciate some feedback about color tones before I submit. Basically it’s a 12 color design (even though could be 4 color processed since the colors are not too flashy…)
The first pic is my first thought… greenish. The second shows variations. I think I kinda like the blue-green one now (in the middle). I don’t want it to be too vivid anyways. As for the shirt color, could’ve been navy blue, dark grey, brown but Iv’ settled for black. Thanks for your comments & help.

I like them all, but I’d have to say I like the one in the middle best.
i like it. id recommend putting more fish shadows, even larger ones behind the jelly fish and in bg to bring the focal point even more into the foreground, but it looks good anyways.
updated… while I was at it, added some hammerheads, they do go well with the jellyfish…
The middle one (blue/green) is in my opinion the best because to me it really looks as though you can see the light shinning through the water, and that is awesome. But really great job with the jelly fish and overall it is a great design.
If you don’t mind checking out mine.
You did the jellyfish from scratch? I am impressed, I love how they look. Wicked job. I like middle one and one on the left.
Wow that’s real ballin with the jelly fish, i reallllly dig it. I prefer the second two. awesome vibes.
Arglll… thanks everyone for comments, that’s a tie, Green : 4 – Bluegreen 4 ! I’ll choose one and upload pic of second then… About the howdunnit. I can’t say scratch, it’s the same thing than some other designs I’ve submitted (cherry beast, Nice to know you) . I use a lot of bits and pieces of 19th or 18th century engravings, paintings. Cut, draw or redraw, stitch together. Mix everything, add some graphic pen, colors, half-tone screening…whatever it takes in fact to get to the design I have in mind. So each element in the design is a “creature” made out of many others things.This sounds like Dr. Frankenstein…
Since I think biotwist was right about the first one being the brightest, I’ve reworked the colors on the bluegreen version. Thanks for last comments! :)

Hum… sub. rejected… Unless it’s a technical issue and I’ll submit again, I don’t really get it…

Weird. Idk why they’d reject it. Other than something happened since Jimiyo isn’t in the office till Wednesday. But even then idk why they would. I guess I’d say wait till Wednesday and try again.
I have a similar problem. your design has the correct number of colors, does not invade the sleeves. not think it is in the details. very rare.
Finally online : ) Thanks for all comments and advice.
