Default 8th and 9th scrimshaw

Here are the 8th and 9th scrimshaw I've done. Both are on mammoth Ivory. Thanks for looking and any comments/critiques welcome.

The nondivers may not understand the reflected light pattern on the back of the whale. Great job. After years of taking people diving I enjoy going solo and just looking at the changing patterns on bright days.

Maplesm,
Thanks, I was hoping people would understand what was going on on the back of the whale.
