 It's a coin! Heads? No - tails! And it's SPINNING! Tailspin haha get it? No need to laugh - smirking is fine.

Just one coin and it's reflection.

Yes - there is grain. Yes - my photography and post processing skills have turned it into a golden color even tho the coin is not that color. (Past experience on my part has shown that if the color is not true - people rebel. Cannot wait to see the comments.)

Yes there is blue - I was messing around with this blue light pen.

Oh and it has a border! Everyone loves borders - me too!

Positives:
Nice black background and golden colors are strong points in this composition.

Technicals:
Golden color is nice. The main technical feature that hurt this in scoring is the minor defects in the dark areas of the background. There are some other apparent defects inside the lighted areas as well.

The Challenge:
What will bug voters more than anything else is that they really cannot tell what the main subject is. True that if you look closely, you can tell what it is, but for DPC you have a very short time to communicate your subject to voters. If you don't achieve that within afew SECONDS then you'll get a lower score.

Suggestions:
Remove the defects in the black and lighted areas of the image. Take more and different images of the scene that better shows the coins clearly.

I thought the shot was awesome! Me and 5 other voters thought so too! Again, the "tail" spin must have been difficult to get just right as you did.
