I thought for sure this would do better than 34th place. I guess you have to have splashing water or waterdropets in your shot, no matter what the challenge is these days to get in the top ten.
Anyway, Thanks for the awesome comments and votes. Now that the challenge is over I can go drink that bottle of beer.
