just looks like a shark with a tractor beam...

And you would suggest fixing it how, exactly?
Criticism is fine, but just making a snarky comment with nothing positive to add, nor any suggestion on how to fix it really doesn't contribute much, James.

Try duplicating the fish a number of times and motion blur each one a little then change the transperancy. You could also change it's size and/or shape a tiny bit ... does that help?

Great idea ... fish acutally looks smug about the whole thing!

For realism I would definatly think about the fact that this is all happening in water, the water would have a cone of distortion from begining to end of the fish`s movement also I dont think the line would be so straight, fish use their tails in a side to side motion and although at speed seem to move straight its not really the case.

try taking a picture of a moving fish... (or find a picture that hasn't been taken with a quick shutter speed (as the goal is to make it realistic - not what 'we' think it would look like); Analyse the shot, and then transfer your findings into your image (not literally of course)

Perhaps a gradient transparency mask, so it looks like the blur fades more towards the shark. Good luck!

The hand is almost impossible to see, and the ripple effect too slight - it looks like noise, and I can't figure out what is on the LH side.

Perhaps a few more "underwater light ripples" and a small fish swimming by would help. Here is a tutorial that might give you some ideas: http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/tutorials/index.cfm?featureid=1792
Interesting concept!

Great idea but I agree with Mossy.

yeah me too

Good idea, but it's pretty dark. SBS would help, too.

Well done author and beautiful colors.

Nice work author. Water surface is very close to mushroom. I'd like to change either fish color or mushroom. Both colors looks similar. Good luck
