Comment Challenge: I love the color and motion in this. However, the fish in the middle, and just to the right of center has two heads. That looks like a mouth with the upper left fish about to swim into its jaws.
6...I don't know that this has anything to do with the besides the title, but it is pretty. My one gripe would be that I wish the fish at the top had a bit more breathing room. The fish at the bottom looks lovely in all her chiffon.
Nicely done. I'm not familiar with the story, but in looking it up, I can let my mind go with this one and it works for me. I like the softness and the blur. I like the palette. Nicely done. -7-
Whilst i haven't read the book, it seems to me that it is about moral education. I can see the connection to fish and like the flow in the image. I find the colors and blending of colors works well to portray this fable and I see it as a modern representation of an old piece of writing. A 6 from me
I like the color and the motion here. The framing is a little weird, but that may have been unavoidable. I have not read the book, only the synopsis, so I am unsure of the water babies are represented as fish or something else entirely. 6
I know these fish. Love the color and the filigree and the sense of depth even in a shallow pool. Water yes, but babies - ok transformed into water creatures, maybe. 6 anyway for visual appeal.
A bit of stretch from this strange tale. Kingsley was a distant relative of my partner's; as well my father and his siblings were models for the American illustrator of a later edition. Later, Kingsley did really go off his rocker, and your fish maybe illustrate his strange intense energy more than anything else. 5
I can see this as an interpretation of a water baby. The person is a fish until redemption.
The image looks like watercolor. I like that. The one distraction for me is the yellow wisps at the top right of the image. They keep pulling my eye away. Overall I like the image.
A pretty semi-abstract image. A competent version of something I've seen before. I haven't read the book but at least there's a connection with the title. 5
