the scene is cool, but the jellyfish just don't seem right... perhaps they're too bright or something...

They're too uniform in size.

Plus, their tentacles are all oriented the same way. To prevent this, try rotating them around a bit so the tentacles are the same, but we see them from different angles.

Comming together now.... like Mike said adjust the size of the jellies... also try making the far back darker it will pop the main character right out as well as giving you more depth.....

I think the jelly fish should lit the scene a bit too.
