So far this is my favorite image of the challenge. Excellent use of lighting, obviously.

Editted much later to add that I just saw the Love ribbon winners which probably served as inspiration. Still, very nice shot.

Way too clever. I thought I'd found the number 1, blue ribbon earlier, but you officially have mine anyway. Great photo!

Comment by metoecus:
I would have never expected to see the word "fishified" in this challenge. The text and title are well chosen, but the execution of this shot is not as strong as the shots that it tries to mimic. A more well-defined shadow (and if possible, less blown-out text in the background) would make this a sure ribbon winner.

Even as currently shot, you probably could have adjusted curves to bring back a lot of the over-exposed areas and to increase the contrast in the shadows. Graphicfunk did a nice write-up on adjusting curves in this thread.
