The fish look very nice......no criticism from me.

[George Roof]

That IS some very nice work.

Very nice fish, the only thing I would change is maybe alittle more detail in your lateral stripping on the LMB's. They are nice and subtle and not over done at all, just maybe detail some individual scales within the stripe. Nice work though.

Very nice job.  I like the two bass going for the little fish.

[luv2bowhunt]

No comments from me just compliments. Nicely done and not over done. I do like the two fish coming at the small one, neat idea. Good work.

Overall very nice work, your fish are very strong.  There are a couple things that I would suggest:

On the LMB mount, the left fish appears to be a skin mount, it looks like your cheeks are over filled.  Without a closeup it is hard to be certain but it appears that way.  The eye sets in both bass also appear to need more focus with regard to what the fish is doing.  Again, small pictures so hard to be certain but the skin mount especially appears to not have a focus on the target.  The eye would be looking more forward and should be moved down in the eye socket. The replica eye set looks better, but would like to see a close up.

The first redfish appears to be a skin mount, but looks to have an oversize head.  Put a little more detailing in the head coloring too, the body is showing more contrast and detail than the head.  Trailing edge of the fin looks a little dark too, but it may be in range depending on the reference you had.

I like your 2nd red really well, just tome down that trailing edge on the tail.

The crappie is solid, just needed to rebuild some of the shrinkage on the bottom of the lower jaw in the fleshy area under the tongue.  Nice job on the markings they look very natural.

Again, overall really solid fish, just a little more attention to some of the finer details and they will be off the charts!

Thanks Brian, That's what I was looking for. The large red fish has an artificial head. I did feel it was a little large but was the closest size I could find. Will consider eye focus
when composing a mount . Thanks again.
