I love the way it appears the sun is pushing it's way through the buildings, as they lean in either direction. I can't see enough in the lower half of the shot though, I would have liked to see just a little more detail in the shadows, though not a whole lot as just now it has a great mood and too much brightening would ruin that for me.

What an amazing photo! I remember being so struck by the steep up and down streets in San Francisco, but I had forgotten just HOW up and down and steep they are. I'd hate to be a runner in San Francisco! But then, I guess those are the ones in the best shape in the world. Jeeeeez.

What a wonderful scene, and you have managed to give it a sense of both depth and scale.

Well spotted! I like the way the camera is turned downwards, echoing the bowing of the man's head.

Comment by Paul:
One of those rare 'superadditive' shots where every element contributes to the image in a way that results in a shot that is so much more than the sum of its parts.

Though this is far less rare in your portfolio than in most!

Lovely image, great framing, colors, depth of focus and even the type face is among the best. My only complaint is the proportions, what part would I lop off if I was the editor who was given this shot to put on a 4x6 card? the image is too pretty I'd have to add big black bands to the side.

This composition is phenomenal! San Fran's pretty dippy! No where on Earth can you get a street shot like this, great eye....(time to nitpick) exposure could be a bit better, contrast is good, but try re-doing this so your foreground is brighter; those cheap lenses are horrible past 60mm, unless it's bright as hell outside, I know what ya mean.

I forget the Earth still looks like this sometimes, wonderful tones achieved for this pretty valley, great leading lines.
