jellyfish, underwater scene

This is going to be my entry for this week’s weekend contest, but currently the water from underneath looks like crap… rather satisfied with the jellyfishes though

If you know how to make underwater scenes, or know of any tutorials, please post.

theme: alien life (interpreting alien as foreign)

comments and crits very welcome.

That jelly looks really cool in the second picture!
Good work!

cool dude how did you get those light rays in there?

Thanks!

Liquidshield: The light rays is from a spotlight with halo turned on, with a high halo step - shining through a subdivided plane with holes cut in it at random places.

Very nice indeed.
