When you submitted this, did it look real to you? I think the only thing that would make this look more fake is a person walking on the water in the background. That said, I can see it has been validated...thank goodness.

The two things might go together, but they don't look natural in this setting, which detracts from the scoring. The fish looks like the pic was taken two days ago, and the mountain like it was taken in 1972.

I think you would be have done (Scoring) better if you would have gotten the two components to work more naturally together. It's a neat photo though...very interesting to look at.

The color contrast between the fish and mountains is nice. however, it lacks depth, and the focus on the fish could be a little stronger I think. that would make the softness of the background look more deliberate and effective.

This is weird and fun; kind of like one of those jackalope postcards. There could be more detail and interest in the background.

Haha.

Sorry.

Just looks as thought you PSed it in, although I know you didn't. It just looks too fake.

A beautiful landscape and a well-photographed fish. Somehow the fish is too big for the overall composition - even given that he is supposed to be a "monster."

Note that well done I am afraid, looks very fake.

As a joke photo, this is fine. Maybe it'd have been better if the fish were coming in from a side, rather than be positioned dead centre. The background does not have very vibrant colours, nor is the fish particularly sharp. 4
