Electric- Fish!
I like this one the most of the two. I think it would probably look really COOL if you cropped away the background and presented it in the square format with the fish upfront and in thy face. It kinda reminds me of an astral non-entity, from my Lobsang T. Rampa reading days Smile

Interesting thought about the crop Kev.
I specifically made this 16:9, placed the eye on the centre point and body on the left third-line, to give the fish some black void to move into.
The 16:9 (albeit widescreen telly dimensions) fits very nicely with the the space I've got and my icon placings for my iMac wallpaper, so the crop is more for my benefit than anything else.
