I'm only laughing at myself for not being able to do such a good job on my first one. Really a nice looking carving.

Nice workm Mytyre. It is a good first work. Do keep it and learn from it. I really like your choice of background too. Take the good you have done and grow from there. Keep comparing, judging, testing your eye. You have seen some good stuff in this carving. It has fins and everyone recognized its a fish. Enjoy how the next one will look that much better to you.
