This is a beautiful B&W shot of the waters of the bay and the SF bridge. I like how you composed the shot taking it from a low angle level to the rock in the foreground. This creates such a visuallly interesting photo. I see two sentinels here. The composition shows them both off perfectly for one dominates the foreground while the other dominates the background. The first is the rock who has been sitting there for countless years enduring the waves of the river. The second is the bridge that towers over the river off to the right hand side of the composition. One last note about the rock in the foreground, I love how you captured the movement of the waters for it is the sweeping motion that adds visual interest as well as movement to the piece.

Just the right amount of light to get the viewers attention and define the subjects. Good choice of doing the photo in B&W.

I like it very much.
If only that little bit of light to the right of the man's shoulder wasn't there.

first reaction was a very immediate "wow". this certainly has something grand about it, and not just in terms of the scale. i love how the golden gate is just scenery here; i don't think i've ever seen it taken from this sort of angle before, and frankly, it's beauty and majesty is massively enhanced because you see clearly how it just fits within its environment. the long exposure adds another dimension (dark filter??) with the water being very visually pleasing. the only shame is that the sky is so overblown over the hills on the left, but it isn't that obtrusive a distraction... very lovely scenery; and especially warm because you also feel a personal love of the location from you the photographer. 9.
