Whee! I got to play with my kids' sidewalk chalk. Yep, that's a drawing on my driveway. Like my hat? ;-)
Processing: Lots of it! Cropped, rotated, cloned out a water stain on the driveway, colored some rocks in the upper right corner to match, then straightened out the tree's shadow a bit. Levels, USM, lots of work with dodging/burning and selective saturation, colorized the "water" a little towards blue, then cloned out some stray chalk spots.
Now let's see if those turn out to be ribbonfish or flounder. ;-)

That is just too cool. Creativity soar, very surreal... hmmm wrong challenge ;-) Just kidding... now if you tell me that you drew this it's going for the full 10 .... WOW awsome work
Excellent drawing ability, fun, good colors. The natural lighting works well, helps give a bit of a nature feel too it, I can almost imaging a tree further up the 'bank' offering the shading. Focus is great, just love the uniqueness of your approach. Image is crisp and clear. Well done. 7.
There's something slightly staged about this photograph. Aha! I see what's wrong ...you don't have any bait! Bet you just bought those two fish at a fish shop. Seriously ... a very creative idea, nicely photographed. 8.
Brilliant idea--reminds me of the movies where animation and real life meet. The face is a bit hidden but the style is definitely Scalvert. Congratulations on your ribbon ;) Love the hat too. Did I miss the buy the logo hat opportunity?
One constructive comment--the photograph is execptionally well laid out, but I do think it loses a bit of impact with the centric nature of your placement. Perhaps the fish could have been on your left and that way you could be a bit more out of the horz center extending the grass a bit. I do like the way the diagonal is used though. If I imagine the fish to your left and then cover the left with my hand, it's much stronger with both you and the bobber on the diagonal. Just my two cents.
