Thanks for the votes and comments. I had expected this one to do better, through the first 20 votes it stayed above 7 but then it quickly dropped down to 6.2 and stayed there all week until the last hour of voting it dropped into the 6.1 range.
ETA: I have gotten a few messages and comments about this shot being oversaturated. Believe it or not, I hardly bumped up the colors at all. I enhanced the greens a little bit to give the boat a little more definition but that was all I touched. I used a CP filter and the sky was about as blue as could be that day, the combination of the two makes it appear oversaturated but it actually is pretty much all real color.

I wondered if the oversaturated blues would hurt when I saw this during the voting period. Would be nice if you could make money off this, by selling postcards, no offence meant.
