Not much to see here. Just a few touch-ups is all I had time for today. I am too tired after riding a 25 mile race. All the way I did not see one rider in front of me. Played around with the bridge footings at water level. Tried to give a better impression than just cement and coloured water. Then decided to add other sea creatures besides the kraken. May get the kids to count how many jellyfish there are.

Thanks adt70hk for thumbs up. ____________________________ Was not too happy with the footings, so I visited our Missingham bridge to make observations. These footings had some barnacles on it. Also studied the reflections of the pier on the water. Decided to follow this example. I avoided using a flood brown colour on the footings, for it would have a strong colour contrast with the bluish waters. So I used various shades of grey to neutralize colour comparisons. Exagerated the barnacles to make it look like barnacles at such a small scale. Cleaned up the wharf. Added another submerged tentacle to the kraken (near side). With the gangway in place, the kraken will be partly hidden (a sneaky fellow). Painted the fish and jellyfish swimming away from the kraken.

WOW....This keeps getting better Neo! The barnacles and fish are a nice addition.

Outstanding, truly outstanding. That final shot gives a great view of just how effective it is.
Well done.
