White background with flash, room almost dark.
Invert, curves, levels, hue/saturation, curves.
Remove fish after aprox. one second exposure and before flash to give ghost effect.
It is not likely many will like the darkness, but I liked it. After all, darkness is highly negetive.

I had trouble understanding what is happening in this photograph because the fishing lure is too dark. I barely noticed the hooks. That doesn't look much like a fish on the right - is it supposed to be one?

This is really cool... I keep staring at it and its beauty just grows on me. I love the colours here, the angle and tension of that delicate blue line, the hooks, the blue shaft of light... I'm not quite sure what this is, but it works for me. 10 - lisae

I love the colors on this. I'm almost looking for a big bass to come and snatch it up! karmat

Cool effect.

I think it would be better without the fish image on the left, it divides the pic and distracts from the potential you have here

How did you do this? It looks so completely PSed that it's amazing to know it isn't. It's really cool! Great work and nice use of the neg space. ~indigo997

Interesting photo. Seems a bit too dark to me. Focus and lighting are good. Meets the subject challenge.

Almost looks like a spaceship orbiting a planet, which is not a criticism by any means. I like the colours in this photo but perhaps just silve / grey may be nicer. Have you tried it in B&W? Well-done, good job.
