I choose an image of empty vases, and merged it with photos of my own. The fish are from a tropical tank and the hand is an ice sculptor.After getting the lighting on my back ground set, I used Photoshop and cropped the image of the fish, then placed them in the vase and changes the levels and hue and saturation. The hand i did the same to get the water in the small vase, then i used the magnetic lasso and magic wand tools to cut the hand out. Once everything is set in the vase and the lighting is good i used the overlay setting to make it feel like the fish and hand are really in bottles.
