Hey Tiki Shark,
Once again I am in awe of your ability for progress - you seem to possess not only amazing talent but an ability to get the work "done". That is a very hard thing for many artists. Your paintings and your progress is very inspirational.
I feel a little bit like I am offering real estate advice to Donald Trump .... but here goes- Some undersea depictions include rays of light filtering through the undulating water to the objects below, resulting in almost prismatic or magnified light effects on those objects surfaces. This is a tiny section of many giant school murals I created about 5 years ago.

Of course it would seem your primary light source is emanating from the cache of treasure at the feet of the idol - so that golden light would probably obscure that undersea effect - yet perhaps it might still be visible further back in the scene!

Not that my painting should grace this thread - for that I am sorry.
I humbly post this only as suggestion - frankly your painting, as always, leaves me in awe.
Thanks again
Jon
