Almost flawless! Aside from the head, the use of the grass brush is very nice. Very convincing result. I just have a suggestion to slightly blur the edge beyond the ear, it's too sharp (especially when you create a shallow DOF like that). High score for sure
Really wonderful and so nice ...GL for you author
love it
Great job!
Thanks for the comments Fixed the sharp edges.
Great idea and execution. I especially like the cracks. Good luck!

for fly fisherman a killer on trout.
The fly, hook were made from contest image. (5 years and 3805 days ago)
Totally off idea, from where did you get that?! :P Really nice! The fish is done
very beautiful image.. used to make my own lures as well.. you might want to clean up some of the water on face of the fish that seem out of place (don't really notice until High Res).. still high marks of an inventive use of source.. it becomes the focal point because of the title.. good LUCK
HEY..you threw the old fish back.. LOL.. nice finish, good luck
...and for mellow.. I'm pretty sure the title is the gold coil thread they wrap around the fly and hook to attach the Cotton batting they add to the lure.. (ear is reference to the shape)but I could be wrong, I always made spinners and they are a zillion times easier then fly making
Well done. Nice work.
very nice, good luck and welcome back =)
Interesting pic tho I confess I don't understand the title at all (but I'm no fisherman!)!!
This is soooo cool! My dad tied flies, and started teaching me when I was little I always thought they were like art!
fly tying and fly fishing is an art, yes.
My father inlaw taught me.
Thank you all for your comments
Sorry to burst your bubble.. Unless you have some special permissions, the trout is a 'no derivate works' source.. Rework your image with an allowable source.. GL.
thanks for the heads up animax, I will get another trout. Totally missed that in the cc
OK changed trout source.
thanks again
WOW ! really beautiful image...
welcome back! very cool idea and well done good luck!
Much better..
nice image (the source??)
good work! nicely done!
Nice job
Nice entry!
cute
Nice work, weally well done
Nice image! A bit pixelated in HiRes, but I like the composition and colors. Mmm...maaaybe you can try to make the background a bit darker so that the hook is more visible (more contrast), but that's up to you. Good luck!
nice work

Author, Great JOB but you need to place the pictures you used UN CUT in your SBS.. (you may have to show some of your work as well)
A high res could be useful so peeps can see the work better and give you a higher score for skill.. good luck and good work!
Adding a light yellow and medium yellow filters would help blending more the ears to the bird, good luck.
The edge of the ear on the right hand side needs to be slightly trimmed and adjusted at the head, it looks like part of the elephant head is showing.
Good bird photo, but try to color match the ears for a better result. GL author.
