Thanks for the votes and comments. The score stayed above 7 until the last day and when you're getting around 1 comment per 10 votes it's usually a good sign. I was hoping for a possible HM but honestly never expected the Blue.
This is my first challenge of the year so thanks again for a great start.
(First challenge with the D7000 too.)

Beautiful image from one of the worlds most beautiful places. Congrats with the well deserved blue. This image brings me back to my days in Krabi which also resulted in a DPC ribbon for me at the excact same location: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=504752
Oh, my, this is so lovely. The water looks so shallow in this shot. I see that the horizon is put on the third's line as well as the boat on the intersection.
