Thanks, Christine. I like this shot, but it was not one that I had hoped would make the gallery. I was really hoping they would take my "House of the Sun" and "Jellyfish" images that I placed in the PDML photo book. Both got lots of nice comments here, but both were rejected by Pentax. In addition to the Garden Walk image, they took another of my images of the crater of Haleakala, one that is not quite as abstract:

I had shown it here, and most people thought that the light was too distracting. I cropped it to eliminate the light, but that was rejected. Then, I cloned out the light, but that was also rejected. Surprisingly, when I went back to the original, uncropped and unmanipulated version, it made the gallery: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/home#section=ARTIST&subSection=1309043&subSubSection=5094821&language=EN I can't really figure it out, but I'm happy they finally took three of my images. Thanks again for looking and commenting.
