Thanks for the encouragement to finish this, inspiration kicked in and I'm calling this done. The link is to a larger version. Thanks again, John

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

Looks cool John... You might want to reconsider the use of some of the fish though. I see 2 species that do not belong in salt water (at least they won't make it very long there :)

Kylara: My Ocean, My Rules. :^) Honestly I knowingly picked these for their eye-appeal alone. I wanted to use fish striking enough to stand out against the background. I know a tiny bit about fish (B.S. in Biology), but not enough to keep the little suckers alive, LOL. I tried keeping an aquarium (fresh water) and the only thing I could keep alive more than 3 weeks was goldfish, and I swear I was doing everything the way I was supposed to. I finally decided to give it up before I massacred any more. And that's also why I called this pic "Aquarium" instead my original choice of "Tropical Blues". :^) John

John... when you keep putting sweet water fish in salt water and vice versa I can imagine you not being able to keep thyem alive. I'm surprised they lasted 3 weeks ;) But again: I love the render all the way and I don't mind seeigg a few dead fish! I mean.. that pool nemo needs some food too right?
