not bad - top 25! great capture of the moment. as for the challenge, the one thing that probably would have gotten you more points would have been more faces.

i know i'm going out on a limb here, but, shannon, is this you? (if not, i've confused you with one of the most creative minds on this site.) this shot exemplifies what can happen with skill, creative vision, and experience come together. great job! this is one of my top picks for the challenge. good luck!

here you go, a perfect end to a perfect day. love the lines and colors, but most of all, love how you balanced the exposure between the reflection and the sky. it's rare when you can get both without having to sacrifice one for the other (or combine multiple images taken with different settings). great job! hope this does well for you.
