I like the detail of what I am assuming are light ripples on its back. Great job

As I said above a couple of times, it is part of a much larger mural, done for a local swimming pool, and painted with ordinary acrylic exterior house paint. If you look carefully at the body of the shark, you will see swirling textures and ridges that have nothing to do with the painting; that is the actual rough texture of the wall I painted on. [link] and [link] are also part of the same mural. In the case of all 3 images, I removed the rough textured, actual mural/wall watery background (plus right above the shark there was a large window) with Photoshop, and replaced that background with a new, smooth one I created in Photoshop.

f you're talking about the rough texture on the skin, that's a result of the wall I was painting on, not something I did deliberately. This shark was part of a much larger mural that was painted on a wall with a very rough texture, which you can see here [link] , on my main web site. Look at pics of Mural #3. For the image you see here, I took out all the original background "blue water", and redid the background with Photoshop.

Wow this is phenomenal. I find Bull Sharks the scariest sharks because they can live in fresh water as well as salt water. And from what research tells me they will bite anything that looks even remotely like food! But still I find sharks amazing creatures in general.
