Um ... silliness ;-) Light sources were faint sun, lamp to the left of the picture and flashlight underneath the ice hole. Red = Swedish fish candy, vegetable = broccoli, string = fishing line. And a ducky. That's everything!
PP - rotated, cropped, white balance, levels, increased saturatiopn and contrast, dodged/burnt duck and fish, gradient filter on lower left corner, cloned out a harsh line under the ice and a bit of tape showing on the duck, colored parts of ice bluer to blend in, resized, sharpened, blurred far background and a little snow more, added border. |

Man, you almost made a ribbon. I gave this an 8 and didn't know whose it was. :) |

One can only speculate what a Rubber Duck, fishing with a bit of Jelly as bait is hoping to catch . . but it's a great shot.

Nice. Great use of broccoli with the crushed ice, that really contains the scene and focus the eyes. |

Nice idea and wonderfully put together. Nice details, great colors and the lighting is wonderful. A lucky coincidence or mayhap you searched for the right duck -- the expression is great for the ducky really does look happy to have caught the fish:-) |
