		| | Thanks everyone! 
 This is a nice suprise! I thought for sure it wouldn't ribbon, there were so many good shots in this challenge.
 
 Well, thanks go out to all who made this possible - my grandparents for having the forsight to move to an extremely photogenic location, mother nature for coming up with a most incredible sunset, my parents for giving me a wide angle converter for Christmas, and, of course, the voters! Yay! Go Voters!

		| | It's easy to see why you feel this is your best December shot.   It is a splendid shot of a perfect time of day. |

		| | Beautiful colors, and I like the slight wide angle perspective the lens gives the sky.  Only little nit would be a bit more detail in the foreground; there's basically (on my monitor) all black in the lower left corner and that detracts slightly IMHO.  Still a good chance for a ribbon here!  Good luck. |

		| | Awesome contrasts.  I guess I would have liked to see a littel more exposure on the foreground, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you were liked the negative space.  9. |

		| | Ok, 1st of all, you seem to live somewhere warm.. minus 5 right off the bat!!!  ;-) LOL 
 This is one of my tops. I give you 9! Wherever I look my eye converges back to the shelter.  The levels are spot on and so is the saturation.  Great job!

		| | Very nice use of a wide angle and great colors. For me it works better if you crop off the bottom. |

		| | Lovely color, great wide angle, emphasised by the very nice smooth effect of the long exposure. A bit too many disturbances in the foreground, but not really killing. Great. |

		| | Stunning, magnificent work! Tone, colors, clarity are all superb. Had you tried moving the camera just a little to the left to weight the structure more toward the right and more off center? 10 |

		| | very dramatic and beautiful.  Nicely done with the reflections and the sillouhette.  I think it might have been nice to crop off some of the right hand side, but thats just my opinion.  Nice Dramatic sky! |

		| | This could be a postcard. One thing you should do is to spot-edit the moon from this image. This light spot up there is bad for this image. -9 from me (10 if this moon would not be there) |

		| | Beautiful sunset/sunrise scene. The composition is very interesting. I like how the dock leads your eyes toward the sun. The clouds seem to bring your eyes to the sun. Also is that the moon or a star near the top left. Very inspirational shot. |
