Table cloth?

Fresnel lens?

Judging by the interference patterns of the ripples, maybe coils of a fishing line on water surface?

South African bank note?

Is it a dishcloth waving in the water? Probably not but I have no idea what it could be.

You have to do it under the advanced options when you create a thread.  See this section.  So it really only works for the first person to answer
