I had a feeling this was Point Loma. Great location and good job with the exposure and processing.

nice image, vignetting works well, good conversion to B&W, it just doesn't scream backside to me

Nice shot but I don't care for the processing... You look a little crooked but that just may be the scene...

Nice capture. There is some "halo-ing" on the left side that is a bit distracting because it looks like that part of the building is glowing.

Nicely composed and excellent pp.
