Misread the title to start with as 'Discuss fish'. I must put more water with it!

Very artistic 'digital' work Steve. Nice complimentary colours.

Could you give a quick intro to Mohlerization - you draw on the print emulsion when it's wet?

Excellent abstract fish image. Colors look bold and provoking on the black bg, and the glowing edges are certainly attractive

Congratulations!!!

Clive,
I did a short description of mohlerization in the other photo of this fish posted a few days ago.
My method includes a dinner plate, flat bottom, high sides, ptint is emmersed into the water, not just wiped with a sponge. I use some dental tools- goldish colors are from engraving to the bonding layer between emulsion and paper. Whitish can be made by cutting beyond the bonding layer. I used 3x loupes for details.
