  The angle, crop, and colors combine into a great graphic image here, Mike. Leaving just that small semicircle of sky as you did was inspired.

  I feel as if I've been here before :) This is my pick for favorite from your December entries, Mike. It is so strong graphically and in terms of color and light that I couldn't pass it up though I thought long about One and simply cannot understand why it was passed up for an EP. You must re-submit it some time. Meantime, I fully expect to see this among the finalists later this month.

  Thanks so much! I knew I could bring some new life to this old shot with a complete redo but it actually came out better than I thought it would. It took some time but it was worth it. :) Mike

  Amazing perspective, pov, and lines, Mike. Congratulations on your PG 101 POTD!! I think it deserves more than an Editor's Pick! Perhaps with more enhancement of the tonality, it will take the judges and shake them awake! ;-)
