I love how it disappears and then... comes back.

Congrats on your ribbon!

(and clean your sensor! LOL!)

That spot on the left is barely noticeable. I wouldn't have even seen it had you not mentioned it. My eyes are walked down the bridge into the fog. Wonderful shot, Shaurya, congrats on a well-earned ribbon and a new PB!

You're not allowed to remove sensor dust for minimum; you must be thinking of basic.

Congrats Shaurya on the yellow.

Hard to imagine that this very well composed and exposed shot wouldn't make it in the top 5.

OH MY GOD! SOMEONE DESTROYED SAN FANSISCO!
Please, let me give you some suggestions for other cities to wipe out with a fog bank!!
(trying to comment on all, sorry if my wit is not up to par)

seriously though, love this image. a little less foreground would be ideal, but in minimal editing you can't crop.
