If you were to look through the frame it is currently showing The Golden Gate Bridge without commercials :).
How to choose your best shot in a year is impossible, I hope I entered my best shots in challenges, and any other choices would have been outtakes from photos I know did well and would be similar. This one I was curious as to how it would score eventhough it had tons a of views and and some favs. I hope to break my average.

So much promise in this one. The left half of the image is a 10. You really made it very surreal and capitalized on that with excellent use of the frame and skillful processing. Sadly, on the right of the image, my interest is lost because the man looks too... "normal"... he just looks like some guy who was just walking around and sat down in the chair. I cannot think of any positive adjectives to describe his facial expression. While that's not terribly bad, it does spoil the interesting mood. The background could use some blur and possibly the removal of the two big radio towers too.
I find the subtleties of this image sneak up on the viewer and slowly grab them by the throat. The composition, edit, and composition of this shot work together. I quite like the photo. Nice job!
