This is SO COOL !

Pretty major teeth for a carp

Funny, nice chop and choppers!

Congrats into making it to reserve 2 in the next round.

The fish are not very noticable on the grey hair. Im also not sure if the grey hair is meant to be a sharp cut or if all hair was meant to be grey?

like the idea.

Masking of the fish needs some work as there are bit and pieces of the background showing (I assume you are not using the eraser to to cut out the fish) And the makeup around the eyes look a bit stuck on. Try a different blending mode for the layer with the makeup and maybe a bit more work could go into drawing the layer a well as they do not really match

if you take your smudge tool, drop the strength to 30 and have a soft edge brush...it would blend the blue makeup nicely. I like the cahanges you have made, much softer.

Very intriguing in its flatness and its juxtaposition of the terrestrial with the aquatic, but I don't think this meets the theme requirement that fish be the focal point. Moving the middle fish to the right over her face more and amping up the saturation of all three fish might shift her to the background (which shift could be accentuated by blurring her some). A young woman looking into her aquarium would seem to fit your title.

I like it very much!! there is a nice contrast between the model (with orange tones) and the fish (with cold tones), nice artwork!

It would be cool to put your changes you have made since submitting in your sbs so we can see your wonderful progress.

liked it more when the hairs were blue. But still beautyfull

What's the stuff in the sky? I don't see any on the ground...

Truly interesting and unique, but I don't see fish as the real focus as the contest requires. I also find the mini tree disturbing.

Interesting concept, author, but I think in this case, 'less is more' would improve your image. A single but larger 'flying' fish would have more impact, and maybe just a few fish hanging out to dry.Love the clothespins.

Interesting. The leg shadow seems excessive and doesn't seem to follow the contours of the shark. I also think I would like to see his air bubbles reach all the way up to the surface.

YEE HAA!!!! cute humor

Dramatic but overwhelming because I don't know what I should be focusing on. And I don't get why the green fish is in a bubble (which I would think would distort the view of the background more)..
