Missed this challenge by 3 minutes. Was not aware (did not look) that they use EST as the cutoff. So, at 11 pm my time (CST), it blocked out my 11:03 pm submission.

Image came out a bit oversharpened after I resized for the web and submitted.

Besides the re-sizing problem, theres a problem of subject here. There is none, really. The perspective lines lead you to the centere of the picture, brush can lead you off to the sides, but your eyes choose the right because of the brightness. Eyeflow is decent through the right side, but there's nothing on the left that draws you over. You instinctively look right because the brightness has more visual weight, but there's really nothing of supreme interest in the picture. It becomes more of a study in centered compositions, but the lighting here is just too off balance, and fails the balanced shapes of the composition by giving too much visual weight to the right.

The flat, empty sky does nothing to add. The same shot in a morning fog, or with someone or something off in the distance to be led into would be much better. The idea of the fog would be to add volumetric or streaming light coming from the sun-side trees, soften the light, and add more leading lines to draw the eyes back to the left and increase it's visual weight.

Nice capture. two things I notice about it.. oversharpened probably and then the camera is not level, it looks like its tilted to the right and not horizontal

Looks a bit pixellated or oversharpened, but it's a neat effect and it's a very lovely find! Sorry to hear about the time zone thing.
