Beautiful scene! Colors of the setting sun, light trails on the bridge - stunning!

Wow, Denise. I'd say you've come a long way in a very short span of time. This is really gorgeous. Blow it up, print it and hang it on the wall!

Very beautiful image - I love the blurred water, the lighting, and bright colors, especially in the sky!

Wow, so many lights... nice shot Denise! Beautiful color in the sky, you caught it at just the right moment. I agree with Gaurav about the light trails along the bridge; that's pretty cool. Very nice entry indeed!

Better???? Thanks for all of your help and comments, everyone!!!! Long exposures are new to me and this was fun. Taken 34 minutes after sunset. I should have waited until this morning to post and look at it though ;-))

Lovely colors, Denise -- caught at a perfect time of day. It looks like it could have been taken from my father's house in Kensington! I agree with Gaurav that it looks a bit tilted to the right -- although the Transamerica pyramid looks straight, the B of A bullding and the tower look a bit off to me. Helen

That's a classic SF shot - very well done.... From the Berekley hills? That H1 has great reach...

Denise - thats a very cool picture. I really liked your simple composition of the bridge posted in STF too. The light trails along the bridge make it really interesting. Somehow i get the feeling that this picture is tilted to the right. I dont know if it is worth playing around with the rotate tool a tad? ~ gaurav
