That's just gorgeous. And the reflection is perfect.

Oh my god you rendered him so beautifly. I miss my baby, I can't wait to hang this up.

Not to be repetitive, since someone already said it, but this is gorgeous, it really is. o.o
I love the position- the flow of the fish and how it's all twined around like that. It emphasizes just how graceful they are, and makes it such a relaxing piece to look at. The ripples in the tail are fantastic. It's hard to belive, since you've always been so good, but you've improved even more I think. This looks even more real than usual.
The blending on the colours is just...it's so well done that it seems almost foolish to even bring it up, because it doesn't look like colouring at all, it looks like a real fish.
Wonderful.

Remember friend as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now you soon shall be
So prepare for death and follow me.

You guys should see the actual picture I took of my baby then, it looks just like him.

Thank you. ^^ When I first started it, it was kind of overwhelming because of all the colors in the fish, but I did it one piece at a time and that made it easier. :3

And it helps when you have a good photo to work with!

This is really a testament to how far you've come as an artist, as well as to your talent in general. Truly stunning - photographic, really. It is hard to capture fluidity of movement, as well as to create a convincing look of a relfection - you've achieved both in this work.

Oh, I agree. It took me so long to do this one, but it really was worth it in the end. I hate it so much when I spend all this time one something and it still looks like crap. :/ Nice to have one turn out well for a change!
