A Pair of Fishes with Scales

Taken with a 50mm prime lens reverse mounted.

The origami count is now 862, and in an effort to continue to produce new models I have begun exploring the many tutorials posted on YouTube. This pair of of fishes with scales is from the video instructions by Jo Nakashima.
A standard view with the kit 18-55 lens.
Each of the fishes is folded from a sheet of Tant, proportions 1:2. So a 30.5 cm. square produces two nicely matched fishes. 
Another reverse mounted image with the 50mm lens.

The scales are actually pretty quick to fold, assuming one is familiar with the basic techniques detailed by Eric Gjerde in his book Origami Tesselations.
Taken with the same 50mm lens, this time reverse mounted on the front of an 18-55 lens.

The eyeball is a closed sink on a corner, then another closed sink of the same corner in the opposite direction. Very cool stuff!
