I took this from atop Lumbard Street. I was afraid I wasn't going to make it in time, because there was a big, slow detour on my way to the city. But, I made it just in time. I had several other photos that I liked better, during the sunrise, but unfortunately, they were outside the 4-5am range.
So, as far as pping, I converted from RAW, did a little levels change and USM.
I hope it does well as my comeback after a long time away due to motorcycle accident, (usually I would try to use that to my advantage to get sympathy points, too bad no one is going to see this until after voting). |

Critique Club checking in here.
Several things jump out at me with this pic - no focal point and the two lights on the left - the flare thing and the lower left street light - jump out and draw me eye something fierce. The WB is off - all the lights are too yellow. The top 1/3 of the pic is just nothingness. General rule on composition is that unless it adds to the pic, remove it.
I see several things that might have been made a focal point - two bridges, the leading line of the street might have been good being empty at 5 am. There is something interesting left middle above the roof of the foreground house that looks like it might be a train station or something - Bottom line - what am i supposed to be looking at? What is the message, the story, this image is to convey to me?
I see the voters gave yo ua 5.9! Man, i gotta do more night (OK, SOME!) night shots as the voters are suckers for them. I found out in the landscape challenge (see my entry and alanfreed 's entry to see what i mean).

| A nice shot, but overall not very memorable. I do like that you can see the bridges in the background, and the view all the way down the one street. Seems to be lacking a focal point for me. Still well done though! |

| i find this crop to be awkward. A tree should always have a base touching the ground. The hills of sanfran make that difficult, so the city does not lead itself to this kind of shot. I would have retook the photo until i got one without the unexplained light flare to the left. |
