This is a really great top ten list idea, and the picture is amazing. Guess it is worth if there are so many diamonds. You can post this to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and then link back to your site. We are looking for top ten lists and our users can track back to your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
