Ha! Figures. I see a drone shot I really like, give it one of my top votes (a 9) and it doesn't break a 6? I give up. LOL

Sorry this didn't rise higher in the standings, but it's still, IMO, a very nice capture.

Dang! Had this picked for 2nd place overall (I was your 8 - my top pick was the eventual Blue). I love the story that's being told here. Perfect balance and handling of the various pieces (tube, tubers, river, even the sky cooperated!). Only minor nit is this might have a slight lean to the left. Hard to tell as both edges appear to have some perspective distortion (trees leaning outward). The river bank alignment may also be contributing to the leftward impression (it's tough when the waterline doesn't line up with a horizon exactly - but I'm preaching to the choir. :-} ).

Whoever the ear belonged to, it was a good ear... Congrats, Robert.

A pity the birds are nowhere to be seen, would be so much more interesting with them in it.

At my cousin's 40th birthday party, she had a pirate theme (easy seeing that she runs a costume hire business). I did indeed go with a buck in my ear - a dollar in Australia is a coin, so it fit easily. But, goodness, she just turned 60.
