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. #8261208

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. #8262538

I agree with Nikki, Mike! Fantastic EOD entry! Congrat's on your theme win!! :)
Happy New Year too! #8262627

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! ;-) #8445613
