Ok, I actually came up with something for this one



What I did:
1. Painted most of the background black (except for the fish obviously)
2. Cloned the fish using the clone stamp. If I hadn't gone for one click fish, I would have set my brush size as smaller to avoid having problems with placing fish and getting other fish in my cloning area.
3. Created a new layer for the gradient and set it to Hue. I actually tried all the different blending modes before I settled on this one.
4. Filled the new layer with a gradient. I used a rainbow gradient and did several on the layer with different levels of opacity to avoid having lines of the exact same color fish

Cool, Nicole...I like it!!

* First thing I did was to find the picture of the otter
* Cropped closely arund the fish and then Deleted/ereased background. I got frusterated trying to trace around it with the selection tool
* Upped the saturation a bit
* copied and then pasted as a new layer twice and mirrored one image
*traced around a section in the ice and copied and then pasted as a new layer
* moved fish into the ice cube area
*moved pasted layer of ice to the top of my laeres selection and then moved it on top of the fish figures. Lowered the opacity till i thought it looked like the fish were entombed in ice
*created a balloon shape from a preset form
*typed in text and merged all layers

Nicely done windrider! Very funny

Here is my attempt.



For this I did the following in PSE 5:

1) Duplicated the background layer.
2) Played around with the Artistic Filters; finally settling on Glowing Edges. Then I adjusted the filter settings to taste.
3) Set the Layer Opacity to around 60%, I think.
4) Played around with the filter blend modes. I think I ended up using Pin Light, but I don't remember exactly.
5) Cropped, then flattened the layers.
