| Thanks for all the comments! Sorry about the poor quality that many have noted but being the first submission, I was trying to learn how all this works. It was much easier taking the photograph than getting Photoshop Elements and uploading it to this Web site! It took me forever to figure out how to get the right size, width, height, etc. I actually did crop the photo but I also see that I played with it too much (the extra border). Also I was pushed for time on Sunday night, I didn't take the care to make sure key elements were focused. I took the photo near Fisherman's Warf, but it's not Pier 39, a few piers before (sorry, I didn't pay attention to the number. I was all the way at the end of the pier when I did see how nicely lined up the posts were to the buildings, particularly the trianglar one. I was also wishing the Pier to be such a bit longer. Maybe I'll try again in a boat. Interestingly enough, there was another photographer there too but I was jealous of him because he had better equipment! Just to ease another question that alarmed me!, NO it's not an old postcard I scanned! I really did take this photograph! |

| only 45Kb - you are allowed 150Kb which you need to use to challenge the 'big boys' - voters are looking for quality - some before content! |

| I'd crop this image somehow to take away some of the boardwalk from the foreground. |

| Maybe it's just the digital nature of longer shots, but it doesn't seem that clear. I like the idea/framing, etc. The lamp posts make in interesting effect, but on the whole......Photo 8 City 9 total 8 |

| This would have been awesome if it was clear. Levels, sharpened or something too much? |

| This is so washed out, it looks like a bad scan. You also have a border on the right, which is against site rules. |

| has a strange washed out quality, and a weird bluish color cast. could be a little sharper. nice shot. |

| Nice picture, but the resolution looks very bad... |

| I love the composition of this photo. It looks really blurry to me though and I would have cropped the person/bag/whatever out of the lower left side. This would be a winner without the blur...as is 7. Good job! |

| Nice composition. I like the way the eye is led around the picture. You have two basic light levels in this picture however which would have been hard to manage within the rules of this challange. You couldn't have lightened the background buildings much without blowing them out, but the darker colors of the brick building, trees, and lamp posts merge and the effect is to lessen the impact. You might have been able to open up the exposure a stop though, which might have pulled the line of lamp posts visually out from the trees. |

| nice perspective......how did you process this to get that "old" look? |
|

| I like the composition - the rows of lights leading up to the pointed building. Well done! The only con I see is that maybe the texture of the walkway could be a little more defined. Where in San Francisco is this? Beautiful place. |

| nice photo but I wish it was a bit more focused along the pier |

| I think if the existing colors were a little brighter, this picture might have a little more *pop* I like the way the lightposts pull your eyes toward the center of the picture, and then the tallest building pulls your eyes up. |

| Oops; a pixel off on the right? Nice perspective with the chairs and lamps. But you knew that. I might have brigtened it a bit. |

| Very nice strong lines! a little fuzzy (Mono/tripod might have helped) The only other thing I would change is maybe waiting for a more interesting (ie. colorful) subject to wander into the center. The eye is drawn to the bike, but s/he is fuzzy far and dark. |

| very interesting how you have the whole perspective thing going on with the lamps, then you have the people, and the buildings too. |
