Aqua Flower 2
Decided to have some fun and add some coral fish to my previous Aqua Flower post. Went to the Birch Aquarium at UC San Diego and took some shots using high ISO ( crowded - so no tripods allowed) Removed fish from BG, pasted them in as layers, positioning and sizing with PS Free Transform tool. Added softening layer using Topaz Detail. The surrounding environment was created from a cactus flower image - the white structure is the stamen.
Great idea and well exicuted. Very creative. Love the comp and color.
Brendan, this is so well conceived and executed! I love the tropical colors and the flow - it is very convincing. The extractions look great also. Beautiful work

Very cool, Brendan...to my eye, the fish in the LLC might be better repositioned lower just a smidge...but that's personal taste. Very creative and very well done!
Wow! Excellent work. Gorgeous colors. My eye keeps being drawn to the lower right fish, which seems brighter than the rest. A minor this. I admire your patience and creativity!
Looks like a water painting...pardon the pun, and has the impression of being painted glass, be nice in my bathroom, I think I agree about the position of the lower right fish, but overall nicely created
Brendan, Nice job with this one. I like the colors and the texture.
