        @Kevin-Longueil Going to reply here, but referring to your finished piece in the other thread - fantastic work! Really love the amendments you have made. I think the storytelling in the final piece is working really well....particularly because you've made the fish look menacing, there's now a real sense of danger for the diver and that really works with the 3rd Thursday prompt, as he's about to reach the boat... If I'm understanding the story correctly, the diver has been spearing fish, but now with the mermaid's encouragement, the fish are going to bite back...hope I've interpreted correctly! ...very nice work overall. Will look great in your portfolio 🙂

          @evilrobot Thank you William! Looking forward to tomorrow - so many great pieces this month! I'm hoping we all get a few minutes of critique again - that would be great - either way though i think we both(and many others) have new pieces to add to our portfolios 🙂
          @Dulcie Thank you Dulcie! That is exactly the story 🙂 I am hoping it is coming across to folks - i'm also hoping that Thomas escapes at least with his life - he was just fishing after all - he just picked the wrong place to do it - Thank you again for your critiques on this piece - invaluable as always!
          @smceccarelli i had convinced myself that one mermaid was the way to go - but your voice kept telling me not to be lazy (not your words of course) and just keep struggling till i get it - so thank you!

            Added a bit of color to the fish - tried to be restrained - would love to hear if you like it better without the color or not - i'm a bit torn which to put on my portfolio site - looking forward to tonights broadcast - cannot seem to find the link to gotomeeting - does anyone know where i should be looking? i'm sure it will pop up somewhere - Good luck to everyone tonight!

              Definitely with color! It adds so much richness to the image!The caustics really pop now.

                @Kevin-Longueil Love the added color on the fish Kevin. It really does add a level of refinement and interest. I feel like it also adds to the fluid movement and shows your eyes where to go.
