This image was shot when I was staying in the Bay area in October, taking care of my parents as my sister took a much-needed break. Eerily enough, as I was emailing a copy of the finished image to her the morning of 1/12, she was busy making the arrangements for my father's interment via the Neptune Society, who will be scattering his ashes right smack in the middle of this view :-(

Our beloved Felipe Viejo passed away this morning, 1/12/2009. Pray for his soul.

It's a beauty, Robert. Something for me to strive for. And such a beautiful place for your father.

Beautiful shot Robert. Surprised to not see this in the mid 6's or better.

Nice picture of a cloud. Or at least, that seems to be subject. I fell perfectly ambivalent about this image, which is rare for me - usually I don't like something or really like something. Maybe the frame is distracting me, as its weight at the top fights with the cloud for attention. Mixed in the cloud is a beautiful purple tone - would have loved to see that highlighted. 6

A little overdone for my tastes but it does add some drama to the shot. 7

Very strong image of San Francisco. The clouds make it feel like "Gotham City"!! I like this because I'm from CA. 8 -BB

It looks like you just caught Alcatraz on the far left with Treasure Island by the bridge. I like how Coit Tower is silhouetted by the sunlight in the background.

PS. Is this taken from Sausalito?

the lighting on the water and bridge are fantastic - and the composition of the shot is outstanding - but i am not a fan of the purple tones in the clouds

OMG, great cloulds and you captured the essence of the scene very well. Top 10 in my book. Good luck.

Beautiful scene!!! wow. I love the hints of peach and pink in the sky, with the yellow at the horizon. Stunning clouds. One tiny nitpick - I think the white line of the frame is a touch harsh. Maybe no white, or perhaps at a lesser opacity. 7
