Just read your comments...you really shouldn't be such an optimist! :-D Looks like it did pretty well for you overall. One thing that probably dinged the score on this (was mentioned in several comments) was the lemon. Looking at the shot overall it appears to me that an overly healthy dose of NI (or some other noise reduction tool) was applied. Yes, no?
Anyway. Congrats on a new image in your PB lineup. :-)
Ahhhhh........Barry, my optimism stems from feeling like I've been knocking myself over the head with a sledgehammer in challenges lately! The ones that I felt would do really well, have bombed horribly and been very disappointing, getting cut up in the comments, so I figured I may as well expect the same score with this one as well! *grin* It's easier to fall from one stair height in expectation, then 10! :) Thank you for your boost in comments! It's well appreciated!

You ought to keep making predictions like that. Seemed to work. Wow, a 3rd Personal Best! How exciting is that? I love how the water looks like it is leaping out of the glass. What a great catch! This is stuff I am not gonna touch - too hard lol. Way to go with this accomplishment!
