A last minute idea that my kindergarten model insisted we pursue. The "marlin" shadow is a mat board cutout and the fishing line is tied to a Jacuzzi nozzle. Unfortunately, the bathroom is a tight space that doesn't allow for wide angles and I wish we had knobs and a spout on one side. Oh well, we make do with what we've got. At least it's different!

Thanks for the comments! This came out much better than I expected given the tight quarters and difficult lighting situation. I am simply astounded at the number of people who didn't see this as an Off-Screen Expectation. It's pretty darn obvious! No, the marlin isn't on-screen. We call that thing on the right a shadow... it's the result of light shining on the object not visible on the screen. ;-)
Well done in terms of drawing attention outside the photo - definitely one of the best. I'd like to see more color or action in the shot though, to make it more visually appealing.
I've been through most of the entries and had to come back to this one to comment. i think this shot shows the kind of creativity that is lacking in most of the other entries. i hope you place in the top 3 with this one. mildly comic, yet very tense. i love it
