I applaud that you are attempting the panning technique.
IMO Panning has to do with sense of motion but keeping a clear focus on the subject. I once saw a photo of a boat speeding thru the lake and I could see the individuals in the photo but you could just feel the mode of speed boat. Not sure if I saw it here or in a book from the public library. I think if you zoom out just a little and bring the focus a little more on the subject it may produce a different picture. This may improve or ruin your picture but it would just be for practice.
Sorry, I have no real experience with panning other than seeing others photos.....
I hope I have giving you a different prospective (for better or worse) none the less a prospective.

Originally posted by Imagineer: I think the colour treatment here is almost too indistinct, with the stone building being of a subdued colour anyway. What was the purpose? Interesting viewpoint.

The main subject is the Pacific Stock exchange, ground central of the dot-com boom which sprang forth from Silicon Valley in the late 90's. The juxtaposition of that and the apartment block is the purpose of the photo. I hope that answers your question.

I just want to start by saying that this is a VERY impressive shot! The composition, focus and DOF are very nice! I love the way the clouds jump out of the sky! The detail in the water in the forground of the image is beautiful! All in all an excellent shot and well worth the score that you recieved!

Now, what would I do to make it better? (my opinion only of course...) First of all the frame is a little bit overpowering. I would rather see more of the detail (either outside of the crop, or as is but bigger with the current crop) of the picture itself. It's such a good shot, why put so much attention on the frame? Also, I am a HUGE fan of color! It seems to me that as beautiful a day as it was when this was taken, that there was an incredible blue sky! And unless there are pollution issues in the waters around that part of the California shoreline, the blues of the water must be quite marvelous also! I want to see those colors. Also I believe that this would make the clouds stand out even more than they do here!

Very nice work and I can't wait to see more in the future!
