Kind of sad about the water effect blurring all the details, but I think it adds atmosphere nonetheless.
Edit II: Lightened it a bit.

Again, I should be doing homework.....

I think this really captures Medusa in a way that many stories don't.
She got a really raw deal from Athena, who cursed her into a terrifying hell beast that would turn anyone who looked into her eyes into stone. She was beautiful once, and I can only imagine that the isolation and the loneliness would've made her terribly sad. You really captured that.
And even Athena's curse didn't take all her beauty, so there's still the reminder there of what she was. Of what she lost
Makes you want to give her a big hug and tell her everything will be fine, despite the poisonous snake hair and turn to stone gaze, doesn't it?
