Simply astounded that I made the top 10 with this image. Thanks to all those that voted. Took a bit of a hit towards the end of voting which has knowcked me down a couple of spots.
One thing that amazes me is that I received a 1 and a 2 vote, however no negative or constructive comments criticising the shot. Nice work to those people. If an image such as this (which I, and obviously others thought met the challenge and was of decent quality) deserves a 1 then I would love to see what that members considers worthy of a 5 or even 10.

Mark, congrats on your top ten! I missed this earlier (I didn't vote in this challenge and I don't think I even looked at the entries). Terrific photo, the colors are beautiful and the composition is just right.
Don't let the 1 and 2 votes bother you -- nearly every photograph gets some, even the photos that win ribbons.
nice shot, like the colors and good use of fore- and background, although not really on topic. for that the jetty should be more prominent. would print it anyway and frame it if i were you :)
