The lookdown is a game fish which is usually silvery on both sides. (I have obviously taken some liberty here in my color choices).   In the western Atlantic, the lookdown is found from Canada and Maine south to Uruguay, which includes Bermuda and the Gulf of Mexico.  They usually live in shallow water near the coast, along hard or sandy bottoms.  Below is the black and white before I added color

I have been doing some smaller black and white collagraphs of fish and thought I would do a couple of larger pieces in color.  The image below is the b&w before I added color.
