Maybe it's my monitor settings Ben, but I liked the second mermaid best... I could more clearly make out the details.

I felt the first image did conceal to much & also prefer the lighter image, its also less contrast. Your octopus in the toilet made me giggle (did I really type that).

Loyd, I like the mermaid one a lot

Here's one i did a few years ago, and it seems appropriate to resubmit as an entry for this week's challenge.

The mermaid is beautiful, Loyd.
Ben, I like the way your octopus is looking at its fate.

Re: Challenge 976: Octopus Snack

I know, I know, I stated that I was finished for the week… but this popped into my head and it turned out better than I expected, so….

I’m now two over my self-imposed limit of seven… sorry about that.

Re: Challenge 976: Doctor Octopus

Well, you've certainly been busy Loyd, liked them all but favorites are bathtub and toilet for some reason.
I prefer the brighter version Ben - nice work.
Lovely mythical image Gordon and I see Anna followed up with a lovely similar mythical legendary Kraken - nice image and like the way he grabs the sub.
Michael - think I'll pass on your bottled tentacles although I understand they are a delicacy in many regions.
Many variations so far this week so I am working on a different approach. Hope to finish on time.

Re: Challenge 976: Doctor Octopus

Yet more excellent work from everyone. As soon as I saw the sculpture I was sure that we would get some great entries.
