I knew it.. Congrats cornelia

I knew it.. Congrats cornelia

Awesome work (just a little trick I use, if you place a warp grid over the light purplish anemone and pull from the center up ward it will give them a bit more roundness.. though I do like the buzz saw effect (Stacking three or four on top of each other and merging and then pulling again, upward through the center will also make them round up a little.. (appropriate burns of course))

It's perfect just the way it is, hehehe.. just IMHO /... AND GOOD LUCK!!!

EDIT: YES!!!! they look plump and fat now author (I'm spoiled with the warp tool) you did a great job!!!!!

Those fish are adorable! Love the anemonies, but Drivenslush's comment makes sense if you wanted to try it. Great job on the blending of all the elements. Choice of background:
Without warp - great tweak on the anemones.

Thanks for comments. Pearlie thanks for your support.

Drivenslush: I do not have a warp grid in my Photoshop version. I am using an old, old Photoshop program....well, still works for me. One day, I will be able to afford one of those fancy versions of PS and do a better work. BTW, I just stacked copies, one over the other, and they look much better now. I appreciate your suggestion. Good luck in your work too.

very interesting and creative!
