Wanna know what gets me about this photo? It's not the processing (which is awesome, btw) but the detail in the medic's helmet (it's a medic right?).

I think you have a winner here - but, I think if you would have done this at a more active angle it would have been more engaging.

Nicely done - I'm gonna have to go across the bay and try this spot out next time I go to SF. Grats on the top 10!

I personally would have voted this one higher than the one you submitted... but you know how I am about birds ;)

About the jagged edges though - one thing I've found with PP is to actually apply some gaussian blur prior to doing your first resize. After that, apply your USM. At least, that's what I've found working for me for this site's horrendous pixel limitations.
