The HiRes looks nice, but if I see your step one, you've lost quite some details in the background which imo looked more interesting (or maybe the final result is a bit on the dark side). The fishes look good as faraway silhouettes. Good luck!

i think both have there charm and are nice should keep two versions maybe

Thanks Waz, Eladine, I find it very hard to do sketchy type work. I see so many here and elsewhere and really like the looks and style ,but I have a problem of not being able to leave things alone till it is sharp and pretty realistic or at least blemish free. This was almost not entered because I really felt it was far from finished, so your comments make it a bit better. thanks.
