Illustrator Rework Project

I imagined that I have a client (Sandhill Cottages) that needs a website and they want me to use the following low-res image to create their website logo.  It is from a Google search which turned up this Wikipedia image of a dusky dolphin. 


I used the warp and pen tools Illustrator to trace the dolphin, used an artistic brush for the water, recolored the brush strokes and then applied special effects to both the dolphin and water.  I kept them in separate layers for better control.  Below is my reworked image from Illustrator.


I imported this Illustrator file to Photoshop to add the text and frame and a background gradient.  Here is my initial "final" image.
