step 5 of 6

More fish have been added, trying to make each one a little different and some (large fish at top) have had a thin layer added over them to give them the appearance of more distance from viewer. Driftwood attached to original fish was removed to allow fish to look camouflaged in that area.
Smudge tool was used to take away the wood grain on the larger fish, and dodge and burn tools used to give more shape to all of the fish.
