I love that you even thought about the light refraction between the depth charges and the water splashes at the surface, so that they don't align exactly. Awesome!

[@jimsedlock7637]

You noticed the parallax effect but the artist didn't 'think of it.' He built the depth charges and splashes aligned. The parallax effect from any view angle happens because the resin is denser than air in the same way water causes parallax. So much realistic detail, not many picked up on that effect but you and I did.
