These are the things that make these contests difficult. As mentioned in the entry description, his was a hard choice to make. Let me quote a line from the original contest thread:

From the pictures that are entered, I will personally, and indiscriminantly, choose the top 10 pictures and your comments will help me in that decision

Had I seen a ton of feedback about that pic, I certainly would have put the flying joyner in and in fact that was my first choice but after studying them, the water pic was very unique and a flat out fantastic picture.
These contests aren't black and white but something is learned from each one we do. Next time we do a buggy pic contest, I'll likely put both pics from each entry in or maybe even just allow one picture. That way the submitter can decide which one they want.
Yours is still a fantastic pic though. There's still plenty of voting left though. Pass the word to other members of the community and get them votes in!
