Setup was pretty simple. I placed a small water drop on a rod. Like with most fish shots he wasn't real. Just a reflected image in the background. 100% unoriginal I know but I wanted to see if I could get the reflection without having the background image show up in the picture, which is what you normally see in shots like this. For the most part it was a success in keeping that distraction out. Only a small portion was seen in the non-cropped version.
Thanks for the comments!

I bet this will do really well in the competition -- its just the kind of image that DPCers love. For me, this type of shot is great on the first look, but doesn't have a lot of staying power ... the more you look, the less there is to see. That's why its a 6 from me.
On the technicals: the exposure on the drop is very nice, but the fish is a bit soft. My guess is the fish might be a picture on a computer monitor behind the drop?
Oh, my...there are some great images in this challenge and this has to be a ribbon contender. Your title is perfect, colours lighting...I cannot find a singl thing to change...10, 10, 10
