Great shot! I like the "Caution" sign though. Makes you realize how deep of water something this big really needs. It's obviously not floating on shallow waves.

@bronzebilly: "Among the top 3 of the whole community" - Billy, may I ask if that's your personal rating or is it the community's rating? Regardless, I dearly appreciate it and am extremely happy to see that many people enjoyed the photo. Cheers!
