Not sure why you added the extra light dappling at the end? I mean it's not necessarily superfluous but I might have toned it back a bit.
author says:
I added it because I think it adds to the look, simply put.

gyotaku - the art of Japanese fish print with watercolor - created by hanabi123
for those of you who don't know what a "gyotaku" is, please see here...
http://www.google.de/search?q=gyotaku&hl=de&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=YF-EUfHZDJGLswaK1IHIBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CDkQsAQ&biw=1680&bih=949 (5 years and 2392 days ago)

DanLundberg says:
The watercolor aspect is obvious with an unusually somber (not pastel!) color palette that makes the image unique. But I don't really see the gyotaku which apparently is just a largely monochromatic rubbing of the fish's surface to yield a pretty flat kind of superficial X-ray of the fish (I'm reminded of fossils) without the addition of any other elements (such as seaweed, for example).
author says:
you are right, most gyotaku are monochromatic, like a stamp and very rarely seaweed is added to gyotakus...However, the source picture didn't have enough detail (i.e. scales) to achieve that fine pattern. My mother has a gyotaku at home which is more like a watercolor image, that is why I tried it this way. Her picture was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the source. OR maybe I am just lacking skill 
Thanks for the comment though, it is well appreciated!
DanLundberg says:
"Less is more" applies not only to images but to titles and descriptions as well. While a gyotaku may have inspired you, it was TMI [too much information] that distracted from rather than adding to my appreciation of your entry. I would just delete the references to gyotaku.
author says:
Update: Michelle ("cloaks" on dA) was notified and sent the link
tinasedits says:
I don't know anything about gyotaku, but I would hang a print of this up in my living room.

I just replaced the picture but in the contest, the old one appears when I push "publish"....
Since it was a kanji and it is my second name that doesn't appear anywhere in my profile, I thought it was ok.

Nice work...
Thank you
Nice to see someone put to use the 3D part of Photoshop.
Thanks, a lot of potential there for sure.
I would like to learn that... Nice image
So far, much trial and error, but I'm having fun! Thanks!
Does look nice but if you'll forgive my critique the perspective is a little off. The bottom of the bowl and can would be more rounded than the tops. The further below eye level the more round an ellipse becomes. Still as I said a good looking entry.
Thanks, not sure what to tell you, everything was properly aligned in the 3D environment and the background is the only 2D object in there.
Congrats Randy!!
Thanks!
