I have never heard about this fish before, so I appreciated your notes. I especially like the color of the water and how well you have done the sandy bottom.

The Paddlefish is done paying such a good attention to details and with good use of high lights.

The format and framing is perfect, and with the placement of the fish off to the left, it is a very good balance in the composition. It is a truly great looking and well done digital creation Allan.

Thanks Annie, I appreciate your review. You may be getting more familiar with the fresh water fish in the Midwest! : ))
Painting just puts me in a different world of relaxation as I am sure you find when you are working on your mixed media pieces.

Allan, This is a wonderful presentation of a paddle fish. This is one smart fish because he didn't change it eating habits through its evolution. Your digital painting worked out, nice work. Ray
