 When the ducky challenge was up, I borrowed my kids' rubber ducky. While they are digging through their toys, I also found a rubber orca, immediately, the idea of the fish chasing the duck came to mind. Prepared the set up and stated shooting, but when my daughter excitedly showed up with a baby ducky, the vision became "the rescue". Set up - blue tub and and blue roof of the playhouse as background, camera on tripod, fired at 11fps (with a remote cord) to capture the orca being dropped into the tub. Processing was quick, I just click on the 'auto levels' and brighten the image a liitle bit.

This is a kick - love it!! Fabulous with the water droplets. Could be an overlay. The shark is too much fun.

ROFL! I don't know how you managed to keep the shark's eye out of the way of the water but it really makes this shot!
