Family trip to the botanical gardens time! I actually took this shot with this challenge in mind. I wonder how many people will DNMC me because my sun is just a reflection.

This reminds me a lot of Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night.

As others have said, I love the water texture and the glowy fish.

I wonder how many shots it took to get this composition, fish are just not the most cooperative models. Your post processing lends to a painted feel.

nice use of the blur on some of the fish, but the overall image seems confused and not clear; hard to discern the bright section in the water is actually the sun

nice way to incorporate the sun in the frame...the halos around some of the fish are interesting

is that the sun or a reflection of some type of light?

Nice detail in the water. I think a slight crop on the top (and maybe the right) might keep the fish from getting lost in all that space.

I like the abstract, painted quality of this shot.
