San Francisco

[eaglesona]

Long time no post...This is a picture of San Francisco, looking over the Financial District from Chinatown. I like the color shot, but somehow, San Francisco always looks good in Black and White.

I like both versions, it's a great image! I wish more of the tops of the buildings could have been included, but it looks like that would have been very hard to do. Well done!

I also like both versions. Another cool shot would be to go back at night and do a long exposure to get the light streaks from the cars on the street.

Nice shot - you know where and when you are with that one shot. Too many shots of cities and you have no idea where they where taken, not so here.

nice..

Why? What's nice about it? This is a serious critique forum and it works both ways. You don't get the full benefit of the process unless you take the time to offer your feedback as well as accept criticism. Taking the time to analyze and articulate what you do and don't like about an image helps the critic learn, as well as the photographer. So, please offer more than "nice" or "I like it." It's better for you, for the photographer, and the forum.

Thanks for being patient with my little sermon. It has to be done every once in a while. This time you're the lucky victim

I totally agree. It is a somewhat bland shot with little impact and poor lighting toward the bottom.

That's not what I meant. I wasn't saying anything at all about the image. I was only asking trog to take the time to really consider the image and articulate what he liked and didn't like about it.

Perhaps I should have put it in two paragraphs.

No relationship was intended between the two statements.

I like the vantage point from where you composed the scene. Viewing through the cavernous buildings and streets below and seeing the Bridge in the opening at the "End of the Tunnel" is pleasing and holds my interest. What hurts this for me though is the lighting situation and the control, or lack of over it. the foreground area with the tree is too dark and the image becomes too bright at the top. Contolling the light/exposure with a filter might have helped but i think going back for this at a better time of day where the lighting is different (and some clouds in the sky could help as well) will bring this picture up a notch or so. I prefer this one in color over the b&w.

Ok - thanks for clarifying

Looking at it, I agree Rononoco and gahspidy that the image is a bit too dark at the bottom. This is definetly one I will have to go back and play around with in Photoshop, because I just like it Thanks for the feedback.
