Reflections on pier 17 got my vote, but Fresnel was a very close second for me.

All of them were great shots though. Excellent work everyone!

I always check out the theme, but end up choosing my picture by thinking, "Which one would I hang up in my house?" Then I end up staring at each picture to think of where it would go, why I'd want to keep looking at it, etc. Sometimes I end up picking a picture for reasons unknown or because something really jumps out at me. I chose "Grounded", oddly enough, because the sky just spoke to me. I stared at it for a while and I just wanted to be under that sky. Great photos everyone! Whover took "grounded"--thank you for that beautiful sky!
