thanks museband.. I really think it is the dolphins too.... but that helped me to know exactly what the problem is... thank you

Thanks Swany. This was an assigment from class... when I cheated using "plane" colors (no gradients) the proffessor said "why didn't you used gradients?"... I have seen a lot of vectors , any of them uses gradients so you're right... the teacher doesn't explain much either so its a waste he's there.

Truthfully, they don't work well with vectors. And if you do decide to use them, I wouldn't go with such a contrast between the colors used in the gradients. If you want something to fade from white to black, I would just go with a fade from a light grey to a slightly darker grey. But if you're a beginning 'vectorer' I would stay away from the gradients all together.
True. I realize by this feedback that I need to take the gradients away, at least with the dolphins, so I will try again adding as much details as possible so it can look good. Thanks again for the feedback Swany

More time consuming, but if I really get to do it..I hope i get the maxim grade :d
