Here's one I did last night.

I {edit} was planning on putting a few fish in there, one perhaps in orange :)

Where's Nemo?

I hope you enjoy.

:D Thanks Steve.. :D

I must admit, the idea of perhaps not adding any fish at all, and then that making the title all the more ironic is very tempting.

Kind of like a wet 'Where's Wally' if you like :r

That's gorgeous!
I saw an old "candid Camera" show were they had a tank with a sign that said "Invisible fish for sale" and people swore they saw fish in there, it was so silly.
I love the Where's Waldo, Trev has a book of posters from the various books.

Hi Virginia!

I'm glad you got the wally-waldo translation.. I never really got why they changed it for this side of the pond.

Thanks for your kind words on the pic.. I must admit I really like the way the dark wax border has come out.. It's black in reality, and the camera really helps it out.

It's really tactile too.. which is something I really like about it.

:huggy: to both you and Trev :huggy:

Sylvia :ta: for that! - I've decided to leave it like this now, as I think it adds humour to the piece. I'm particularly happy with the texturing around the outside, it gives it an almost 3D effect.

Jinny :hehe: You've just given me an idea for another piece.. :thumbup; EA's similar to busses, isn't it.. you can wait for ages, then suddenly.... :)

What's a bus?... :blink:

Can I say the "gorgeous" word too. I love the almost iridescent violet colour and the texture of the foreground is really brill.

It's deffo better without the fish and without doubt the best one you've done so far.

The framing really focuses the eye on the beautiful water textures.

I reckon you could easily sell this one - but I wouldn't part with it if I were you :congrats:

Really lovely :thumbup;

Luv xxx :wave:

He's in the picture, it's just that he's a little shy after being recognised so much after the film. He's normally there just as you're turning to look away. :)
