Nice idea, but I think I'd prefer the fish without filtered body (see your step 9), right now you lost all contact with the original source. Good luck!

thanks for your comment wazowski. and i did think about that before filtering it the way i did. the grass is still contact with the original source, so i decided to brave it and do the filter anyway. made the fish look more 3d and shiny the way i pictured it. unfortunately, yes i did loose alot with the petals, but.... the overall effect was much better than the flat little fishy i had to start with.

Very nice entry......GL
