San Francisco Bay

[Kyle Jones]

Here is a view of sunset over the San Francisco Bay captured last night from the Berkeley hills. Any thoughts are welcome.

And here is a 16x9 crop based on Jim's suggestion.

Spectacular! I don't think I've ever seen the city from this view.

I love the big sweeping curve of the roadway - great location to shoot from and a really delightful result.

 

[JimFox]

Very cool indeed Kyle!

Like Alan, I really love that sweeping view with that freeway just curving around like it does there.

While I like the color in the sky, I am thinking a pano crop losing half the sky might be cool, or maybe just the top 1/3rd? It seems like that pink in the sky is perhaps overwhelming the image a bit and taking away from the cool lights and curves of the ground layer.

I like the pano crop idea, or maybe just a 16x9, at least for this image. I have a vertical I'll share when I get a chance to process it.

The 16x9 pano crop looks really nice.

Great image and another vote for the 16x9 crop

I love the 16x9 format and it works very well here. Wonderful composition, vivid colors and processing. Instant wall art!

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Awesome view Kyle. Another nod to the pano crop. And congrats on the feature.

 

[Kurt Harrigan]

Nice compostion and colors here, Kyle. Have you though about straigtening the fog line by chance?

 

[Jim Dockery]

Nice work, crop for me.

 

[MonikaC]

Nice work, Kyle. I like the crop as it follows the line of the on-ramp well.

I have a portrait version where I did straighten it. I'll look at this one too.
