This is a well-made digital artwork. The framing, light, shadows, and colours all come together perfectly. Nice effort! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks.

This is beautiful Allan, I especially appreciate the way you show the lighting here and the way we see it coming down from top and touching the tarpon,
Your notes are interesting , I have not even heard of this fish.
Very well created with such a lifelike quality , I love the open mouth and the way you arranged the aquatic plants , they give nice depth to your scene. I like the sense of motion and the school of fish all perfectly positioned to become dinner for the tarpon.
Very well created, arranged and presented! This was so much fun to view!

Thanks Pat, any time my art work gets a high rating my day is made!
Mangrove swamps are so different from your Gulf of Alaska. The water is shallow, warm and highly fertile. The margrove veg looks like a forest underwater with branches everywhere.

Thanks for your detailed analysis of this piece, it helps me learn more about my work, greatly appreciated.
