This picture is hilarious. I can imagine my girlfriend's cat looking quite the same after a bath :) I wish the lighting was on the front of the image, but hey... what can ya do? :)

In addition to what's been mentioned, your choice of cropping and framing also contribute to the overall quality. And I think you've made it so if it's printed out at 24" x 12" it will wrap perfectly around an album cover. I'll be happy to make a mock-up for you if you want, or if you don't have page-layout software.

You've just taken first place and I'm suppose to critique this picture...One of the things I tell my class is, " If everyone was to take a picture of sunsets, or hands or what ever, only one or two would reach out and grab you as an outstanding picture." Yet everyone had the same topic to shoot, so why are some pictures just better than others? Composition, how the image fits on your paper, that's the key. Take away the person with the board in the foreground and your picture is not as good. Take away the pier and your picture would have been in the middle of the pack. What I'm saying is, Yes! you saw a beautiful sunset, but you also did a great job of composing your picture. Great job! You deserved the Blue Ribbon. In your photograph information you put down you shot the picture at 1/25th of a second, was that a typo? Should it have been 1/125? Just wondering.
