Wow - I finally made top 10. Of all my photos submitted, this is not one that I would have thought would make it...
This was taken with an added 2x converter and I also cropped it in quite a bit (almost 2x), I'm surprised I had anything left to work with after all that :)
Thanks for the votes & all the encouraging comments! Here's one of many alternate entries:

Hey Shawn: a wonderful and very beautiful entry. I see it hanging out on some wall radiating love and beauty! Congratulations on your 6th place. Way to go.
whoa dude - sixth place is splendid. Was a great shot, nicely realised through some spiffing editing, and is a lovely job all round. very serene. also; go team!!
congratulations shawn on your incredible photograph a great finish and of course a PB ...
you're really kicking some butt with this double take, your science and free study for May ... and of course my butt is one that you are seriously kicking .!!!:):)
Something about this one just catches my eye. I want to keep looking at it. That means a lot when I score an image. The surface details in the water and the way the lines that transition out of the water into the darkness mirror reflections of the birds heads below them. A very serene and peaceful scene. Enough babbling, this should ribbon.
Very pretty blues and nice mood in this shot. Feels like true love to me : ) Love the reflections and I even think the border works great. Back to bump you up to 9.
