observing from North West, United Kingdom
What is remarkable about this image is the function of the old wooden dock posts, without these you would have a very nice panorama, but with them as in this shot you an excellent interesting image where scale and distance is evident.
15 May 2009 7:30pm
@observing: thanks very much Mike!! where have you gone to by the way? are you coming back soon? :)

Esos restos de postes que sobresalen del agua en primer plano, dan una visión completamente diferente de una vista tan conocida. Muy bien visto DJ.
Un abrazo.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
When you think of SF bridges, the Bay Bridge is one of the least photographed comparing the the Golden Gate. And I like that you photographed this one over the GG. Nice shot.

@Howard F.: thanks much Howard!

You have found a nice foreground to take that bridge. Well done.

I love your composition with multiple areas of the frame that have items of attraction. The water's surface looks like it's lit up. Great ripples, too.

It looks like you were right in the ocean while taking this shot. I like that you have included the rotting posts in your focus and frame. Excellent!
