Great image, Rick! Love the addition of the little fish too! Amazing use of flames!
He's a loverly fish, grin and all, and the smaller ones are beautiful. Wonderfully cool image for July.
AWESOME RICK! I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A FRACTAL LOL...
I think it's an extroardinary original, awesome image!! :)
Ok Rick, I think that Renderosity is going to have to and, an automatic vote, when we look at your work! LOL! Superb work.
M-U-C-H -A-W-E-S-O-M-N-E-S-S!!!!
I'm totally impressed! Art with fractals! WOW! I've got hair brushes in photoshop, when will I get fractal brushes? As far as the grin, I figure, when your hot stuff, it's hard to wipe the smirk off! LOL!
The lion is great, and I really love the Angel and the darters! Beautifully done!
Wonder filled, and sooo realistic! :):):)
Hey, with such colorful surroundings can you blame "Charlie" for grinning. I'm intrigued with that critter in the shadows. The feeling of depth is terrific as is the lighting on the fern-like plants.
LOL... What a cutie.. only a mother could love.. nice work... you got this pretty much mastered.. love the manta ray... keep going...
Incredible realistic!
Wow.... marvelous sea scape. Very very cool looking critters.
Fantastic image Rick! I think the grin on that face only adds to his character :) Awesome composition, love the bright corals and the tiny little fish especially.
Aww you gotta love that grin. This is great wonderful composition and great use of the flames
Superb ! Very colorful !
Where can I buy this Fish for my aquarium. Great work Rick, I like it.
Such an awesome piece of work, Rick. "Charlie" and his surroundings never looked so good. ;)

I am all part of the sea now :) Thank you :)
What is left to add? A very nice creation!
Hee hee!Grinning fish...who'da thunk it?! But Cap'n... (changes voice to gruff lil ol lady's) WHARS THA SHRIMP???? ;)

Rick, I can only guess at the time and effort that went into this image. Your work just gets better and more complex each time. Bravo!
And yet another fantastic flame-comp by Rick. I enjoyed this swim very much thank you.
Fantastic image!
Superb is not on the ranking list, so... Luv that bug-eyed critter moving towards the right!
Outstanding!! I can see that a lot of work went into this and it was well worth the time! Wonderful! Fantastic fish, all of them, and the ray in the background done nearly as shadow, is great! I caught a fish in Florida once that looked like "charlie", :). Well done, sir!!
Bravo!!!
Nature's beauty expressed through fractalflames. A cool idea and outstanding image. This on is supercool man.
