I tweaked this some more.  I'm going to post it in the gallery.  I put a displacement into the water to give it some waves and I upgraded the leaves a little bit.

This crazy project turned out to be a kind of nightmare.  There is a TON of transparency in the thing and I just could not stop fooling with details!  I had to redo the string, then I had to redo the textures on the ring holders, then I had to redo the size of the rocks, add the air stone, re-modeled the grass, then re-textured the grass (twice), re-did the lable on the food, resized the hook (twice), played with the water surface texture three times!!!

I'm done.

The posting in the gallery will have most of the text I posted in this thread given Sailor Ed deserves his credit.
