How to catch a human for fish

Made the background using Bryce. This creates great skies and water.

Added the fish and his/hers reflection.

Added the cage, some warping on it to get the perspective right. Removed some of the background of the cage as well.

Added the post and some metal pieces on top of it (no source for those).

Made the post by taking pieces of the cage.

The fish needs a rope to make the cage fall.

Made it using a rectangle, warped it a bit. Put some noise in it and some poster edges for some structure, little burn too.

Now we need the bait!

The fish ain't stupid, it knows a beer will do the trick.

Finally some shadows.

Used some poster edges all over the image during the process.

Cropped the image.

Just to show I did make the background myself > Bryce workfile.
