As an Aussie, this is my tribute to Steve and his safe arrival home.
The swans and scenery for his love of nature, the ripples represent all those that put in such an effort to find Steve, starting from a center and spreading out to where he was recognised because of thier continued faith in humanity.

Well done metaphorical imagery. Nice bright primary colors and the way you did the ripples is just right. Like the way there is no ripple in the middle where the swans are. This should score well.
Btw, does the second swan represent a girl swan that will sweep me off my feet and make my life complete? ;) - Steve
What a cool photo! I love how those riples change colors. I'm trying to figure out how you got that effect, but its very cool. Love those tiny hidden little ducks. Love it!!!
Now, I like this effect, as it is very differant than most of the entries, and has used the advanced no holes bar rule, to explore and do differant editing things to the image. Well done and quite clever.....
