My wife rolled up and said, purple couch? I want that!
WIP for my entry. Not sure exactly how much time I’ll get for the details, but I hope I can make the shapes interesting enough

That is so weird. My wife said the same thing.
I emphatically said, “NO!!”
We’ll see how long she lets keep the pants on. 
@david.speer If you look at reference images from underwater looking up to the surface. You will notice a perfect example of fresnel, when looking directly up and out you will have like a circular looking clear non-reflective view out of the water but just outside of that circular area it will reflect back everything from under the surface.
and here is just an image also with a good idea of how water refraction and fresnel looks when in shallower waters like a pools depth.

Appreciate it.
My image has a portion of this now.
Shark model WIP added. On a side note, while studying these shark reference photos I am pretty certain i will remain on the beach from now on 
Placeholder - not an entry.
Model details are done for the great white, pathing for them added.

Pure entry, 3000 samples with denoising. Inspired by the Power Windows album cover. TV contrasts the real world. The ground warm color contrasts the wall’s cold color. The light objects contrast the dark room.

Here is my non-competing entry:
CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE DIAMETRIC
Blender 2.79, Cycles, only procedural textures. Some levels / color / saturation adjustments in GIMP.
I wanted to contrast a variety of qualities in this piece:
round vs. angular, simple vs. complex, vividness vs. desaturated, centricity vs. decentralized, openness vs. enclosure, macro vs. micro, softness vs. hardness, wholeness vs. fractional, and more.
