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. #8261208Datha Y. Thompson January 01, 2010

Congrats Mike on your cool Theme win. :O) #8262528Nikki McDonald January 01, 2010
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. #8262538Jean E. Hildebrant January 01, 2010
I agree with Nikki, Mike! Fantastic EOD entry! Congrat's on your theme win!! :)Michael Umbreit January 01, 2010
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 #8262790Katarina Mansson January 01, 2010

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! ;-) #8445613Datha Y. Thompson March 10, 2010
