Penny going under

I like on this one how the word 'Penny' is nearly centered and visible. The contrast is quite low, this is due to shooting through a plastic tank.

Thanks, I used a system so when the penny is dropped it breaks an infrared beam and then the flash is triggered shortly after to get the penny 'frozen' at the correct point. I still get variable results though, I took 84 pics from this angle. Some of them the penny hasn't hit the water yet, some of them its gone under, some of them its out of focus, but quite a few are okay.
