Thanks to you all for your kind words, and thank you Jerry for your helpful ideas to make my next carving better yet. I am in process of a woodcock, we will see how that goes. Thanks again. Foamer

I have to say how beautiful you made the fish look. I am familiar with the brook trout, and this one looks underwater and well. I like the colors, and the gentle sway of the body shape.
Very enjoyable carving to see.

Wow! That is a beautiful carving, Foamer. There are two areas that I can suggest could be worked over a little next time. And this is sure not meant to detract from your carving in any way. The maxilla has already been mentioned, so here are the two areas I spotted.

1. You might want to undercut the outer opercle just slightly. (gill plate)
I've found that a small triangular riffler works perfectly for this type
of detail.

2. Smoothing out and working some musculature into and around the
base of the pectoral and pelvic fins.
