"Classic" view, well-done. I might try making the sky a little more saturated if it didn't throw off everything else. Nice with the sailboats and no tankers : )

You are a brave person - the GG bridge has been photgraphed sooo many times. But this is a good one, classic composition and good focus throughout. Although your exposre is right on, thjis scene may actually look better when taken a bit underexposed.

returning for comments:
The great Golden Gate. A very good angle. My only tiny objection is its shadow on the water. The shading or hue is out of the family. Still a great comp. Bumping up.

Good shot. The vertical supports of the bridge seem to lean to the right a bit.It might help to rotate the shot a few degrees to the left.

Good picture of a subject often done. Ithe shadow from the bridge is interesting making it look like an arch.

A wonderful day to shoot the bridge. I was in SF this week and it was only rainy and cloudy. :(

Love the sky and the saturation of colors in the water. This belongs on a postcard.

With one of the most beautiful landmarks in America, how can you go wrong. Great work.

Been across this many times, definate landmark here in Cali. It was actually my first thought for the challenge, but I went the other direction into the mountains. Glad you decided on this, you did a great job!

Funny as this was going to be the exact view that I was going to submit myself. I figure that most people that visited the city was going to have a shot like this in there collection of photos so I chose not too.

Angle of the composition is nice as the eyes follow the span toward the Marin side of the bay. The reds stand out against the blue of the ocean and the sky. The inclusion of the sailboats gives the viewer the feeling that the ocean is a recreational area.

Nicely done. My company is named after this structure!

A tad over exposed, perhaps a 1/2 stop over.

Great colors and good angle. Keep it up

this image is overexposed, the bridge is blown out and you lose all details in the pillars. You might like to underexpose by about 0.5 or 1 stop for this image or take this one around sunset for better light
