As usual great, good, best in this contest IMO, bla-bla... Lets get to work
1. I love the old aspect of the helmet. Is easy to make a new, perfect object in 3D but is difficult to make it look old. Maybe some redish color for a rusty look.
2. This was a just a detail. Sorry to tell that ( I tell you cause I appriciate your work ), the sand and water are disasters. So monotonous, so uniform. I know, is hard to work a 3D underwater landscape in 2 weeks but better you used a photoshop background than that. Good luck and congrats. Reply »

Also as billy boy says I could have used a backplate image and got a better image, but we nead to clarify if that is allowed, I think we should, but am never good at following rules, so for this one I went simple. Reply »

Looks good! I like the fact that you dared to texture the helmets old and worn. I'm glad you didn't go the safe way, with the much too overrated simple reflections (= high votes), and went for realism instead.

Anyway, the only constructive things I can come up with is about the surrounding. I think the seabed looks to uniform (like Billyboy said), smooth and empty. More bump should do it. Also, the textured simulation of light projecting the waves on the seabed (caustic) doesn't seem to affect the helmet. I know Maya has possibilities for this though. Really good job anyway!
(I'll vote later in case of improvements)

EDIT: ...I forgot one thing. Great SBS! Reply »
