Editing an image of Koi Fish in a Koi Pond

Object of image manipulation: move objects in image
This was a logo designed for Jerry's Koi Pond (the logo was recently changed to a slide show due to applets taking so long to load). The Logo shown above was assembled from a larger image of Koi fish shown above. The best Koi fish were gathered together through cut and paste in Photoshop, the ripples removed with the smudge tool and joined areas of the images smoothed with the rubber stamp tool. The name of the site, Jerry's Koi Pond, was attached to the top and then the whole image was rippled with an applet so it would look like the Koi fish were swimming in the pond. This Koi image goes on a black background.
