the fishies are very well constructed... IMHO do you think it would be better to give them some depth and shading? if Cartoon was your goal the HURRAH.. excellent job.. but if you burn and dodge you might make them more Jacque Cousteau instead of Sponge Bob Square Pants.. (excellent chop and wonderful SBS).. good luck author..(it is a bit dark.. but that could be just my eyes..)

EDIT: don't knock your self out.. hehehe.. great chop and thank you for your response
EDIT: MUCH improved.. GOOD LUCK!!!

avatar Drivenslush

I have no Idea why..(IMHO) but I think flipping horizontal the ENTIRE WATERMELON WITH CONTENT may create a better balance.. it seems to be facing OUT of the frame right now.. great chop though.. very awesome skill

EDIT: Much better lock now author... good luck!

Just red flag it yourself, as long as no one else red flagged it you should be okay.. I'm not so sure.. I bet you could just put a before and after side by side in your SBS and just high light everything you fixed.. (It's very hard work and I've seen great pieces removed for silly tech issues like this..).. side by side images pointing out the fixes in the SBS should do the trick.. but you never know.. very good job

EDIT: (SAFE!)

author, you may have to make an sbs for this chop (also include the "Somewhere else" so this doesn't get pulled) hard clean work

I like the tail and the stripe work on the fingers. Except for maybe sharpening up the high res a bit, this is a well done chop. Good work and good luck, author!

P.S. Love the title too!

Hey, there's something fishy here! Tee hee. It's really good. But bulbs self sticking to ceilings seem odd to me.
