good work

now this really looks like a fossil from my anthropology textbook

Wonderful image! Very well done. It looks like some of the actual fossils I've found before.

Thanks for comments, Actually before creating this entry, I have visited many fossil web site gallery to see how fossil on rock will look, secondly finding proper sources and finally try and error with some blending layer options and get this result which is very closer to real.

Nice job! It shows that some research improves the result! I like the barely visible antennas from the moth. Good luck!

very nice work.

awesome
