Because the first one wasn't big enough. 
But I feel this one is harsh in the highlights. I am not sure it is because all colours is so saturated and the high light is too much white. Secondly I find the top a little pillowshaded, but I am not really sure about it. 
Any advices?

Doesn't really read a jellyfish at first I thought it was a star/gas planet or a sunset One of the defining characteristics of a jelly are it's tentacles, maybe try to incorporate those into it |

But I think might make it look more transparent at body. I already have three tentacle, they are not really visible. But more thin transperant wirelike tentacles would be nightmare for me, because the lack of readability. |

Showing some blue or indication that its in water seems a must for this if anyone is ever to think its a jellyfish :/ ------------- |

| I initially saw the top of a carrot, then with Xevil's comment I can kind of see the planet too (although it is not spherical) A jellyfish is not a jellyfish without it's tentacles I'm afraid so this won't read jellyfish until you can see the whole creature. |

Carrots, gasplanets, whatever people want to see in it. Tried with some more blue, still need some bubbles or some wavepattern.
