Hey everyone! I've just started a new oil last night and decided to choose an underwater scene for a change of pace. Here are the stages so far...
The star of the show is going to be a leopard shark. This has been a lot of fun so far. |

I like the way that you've highlighted the shark by putting in that dark background.
It looks nice because it seems to flow with the lines of the shark
It really jumps out at you in the last shot when the background has been filled in.
Cleverly composed. |

Would you believe that this beauty came from Seaworld? I got some amazing underwater shots while there earlier this year and have been wanting to do something with them.
I'm really glad you like the composition Daniel. I thought the space on the left would add more to the flow of the shark. |
