I warped the coho salmon statue using the shear filter into a curve to give the leaping form, then divided the fish into sections and used gradient fills to give it some depth. The background is a stock photo of a Douglas Fir. For the overall look, I tried to emulate the silk-screen style of Elton Bennett. I bought a copy of his 'Steelhead Weather' when I was an impecunious grad student in Oregon and have had it with me to remind me of my days as a mossback.
