Photo was taken without the challenge in mind. However I was coming up with ideas for this challenge when a friend saw this photo and said it would be good for this challenge! Luckily it was taken within the challenge window! Image was sharpened and touched up.

Your first Challenge, and you did quite well. That's a good score.
The voters liked your pun (I do as well) and they liked your photography. As well they should. You saved it nicely from the dreaded half 'n half exposure that slices an image in half since you placed your horizon just above the center line.
The image is crisp and properly exposed. I expect that if you were able to take a more spectacular image of Melbourne's skyline or had something on the pier that would have given this image the needed "wow" factor, you would have placed even higher than you did.
Still, this competent and interesting photograph did well and you should rightly be proud of the results of your first DP Challenge.
