So, this idea, thought up with an hour and a half left to go in the challenge. I wish it was advanced editing so I could remove those darn shadows.
Humour does terrible on this site normally, so... here we go.
My prediction: 4.827
Post Challenge:
So I edited and uploaded this image on my friend's computer. His moniter was calibrated very differently from everyone elses, so yea, I wasn't as pleased with this shot, but I am pretty happy with the outcome.

Composition: The composition is good. I like the dimensionality it delivers. I do feel you needed just bit more on the bottom. The female model's outfit has a knot tied to her top that get's cut-off and kinda distracts. But other than that, good comp.
Subject: Fun subjects. Cute sexy female. Very expressive male. And well...a fish. There is a button that the male model is wearing that greatly distracts IMHO. But that's about it.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Okay, this is where I've got to knock the photo a bit. The colors are bright the blue works nicely, but the faces and skin tones come across far to red. Perhaps some selective de-saturation of the reds.
The lighting fades nicely. And does well with the shadows. However, there is a lot of noise and I feel the image could be sharper.
Creativity: Definitely points on this one for creativity and humor.
