When I saw the challenge I immediately knew what I wanted to do. Grabbed Mr. Fish and a fishbbowl, photographed it with a flash & umbrella. Moved the fishbowl a tiny bit to get some sort of movement in the water. No Mr. Fish was harmed by taking these photo's! ;-)
This entry is made out of 2 photos. The moving water was one photo, the other one was the one with Mr. Fish (basic-photo). Used curves to get the aqua-color.
Copied the water-line in the basic photo, and after that started to copy the bowl at the top, and closed it up. I used 3 parts of the side of the bowl.
After that, I made the image smaller, and copied the fish from the original file to make it bigger than in the original photo (does that make sense?). Selected the fish and made it a bit lighter.
Cloned out a couple of spots, but kept the reflection, because otherwise it would be very flat.
That's about it!
Here are the original files:
This was a fun challenge!

As a photo, everything looks good. I'm pretty sure you pasted that fishy in the 'bubble' so unless I'm wrong...nice job with the edit, which I think was half the challenge. (Not used by most entries)
