Description

A resubmission and a slight re-work of my clown fish! I used the fractalius filter along with layers and brought out more detailing on the fish and then SA-TU-RATED! ☺

I would like to thank Steve H. for his help and advice on making this a better image! Because of his suggestions, I entered this image in our small area art show, 'Local Colors' and out of about 35 artists, I was among the winners. ☺ They handed out 9 Merit Awards worth $50.00 each! Thanks SOOOOO much Steve!!!!
