The splash of a coin dropped into a fish tank filled with water as the fish tank is lit with blue background lighting.

This is an excellent photo. I love how you were able to capture the water undulating from the bottom. I really like your choice of colors and how dynamic the shot it. I think you could raise your shutter speed for next time, but that’s a really minor thing.
Really love this image. Looks just like treasure that has fallen off of a sinking ship.
The jet emerging from the surface of the water might actually be called a Worthington Jet — there is a category devoted to this phenomenon on this site.
I like how the scale of your image isn’t incredibly concrete, I know it’s a coin in the water but I can see it almost as a large metal plate or something smaller also
The top surface looks cool.
I like the brightness of the coin itself, it’s a stark contrast to the really dark background and makes it really pop.
Nice job capturing the displacement of the water at the surface where the coin enters. I wish the trail of bubbles following the coin were a little sharper. A smaller aperture might help increase the depth of field and keep all of the interesting parts of the photo in focus.
