CarolinaGirl,

Thank you for the lead again, I was able to locate an image that gave me a great view of the fins, which I believe will work well with the sculpture...

Sincerely,

Caesar

The concept for the composition has been revised.
Thank you, for your input…

Can't wait to see the finished piece! As someone who is an art collector AND koi fanatic, I'm in heaven. Hey Bob - didja notice the English Bullie on the site? You know, Valentine's Day is coming up, and Shila is quite fond of the pups...

The subject line for this posing should have read... "pelvic fins correction"

After one viewer's critique, he recommended I reduce the size of the pelvic fins. I believe he is correct. The image depicts the proposed size of the new pelvic fins...
