Want to show the shapes that can be seen in a Urban Landscapes. I was hoping that the dark buildings on the right lead the eyes toward the shapes in the background that stood above the streets in downtown San Francisco. This is the original.. Thanks everybody for the comments.

Evidently my clock is off a bit from the website, I see I just missed getting my vote in on this one by 3 minutes. I gave it an 8, which I guess didn't count due to my timing...but I keep looking at this photo, and I believe it to rank higher...I would give it a 10 if I had it to do again. I really like the DOF..it's awesome!! It definitely should've ranked higher, in my opinion.

It seems like the light areas of this photo are a bit overexposed...I want to see more of the building on the left, in terms of detail, or less in terms of cropping, though that would also cut out the less over-exposed upper left.... The building in the center is definitely striking and interesting, as are the ones in shadow to the right - the details there interest me the most of any part of the photo.

Good in B/W I like the buildings.

Try playing with levels on this one. The tones are quite washed out - so much so that the TransAmerica lacks a bit of punch against that white sky.

Too white -- near blown out in spots. Overall effect makes it look like a 'clean city' though.

Contrast seems a little off

looks overexsposed, your whites have no detail.

Interesting contrast between the older street in the foreground and the modern buildings in the background. The Eiffel Tower shaped building in the center is really interesting and helps pull me into the picture.

I find the tower to faint, it should dominate, why not color?

Nice old/new view but IMO a colour image might have been better. The contrast for me is too flat.

I find it a bit too bleached

nice shot...I think it could have used a bit more contrast to make it really stand out.

Great composition, but a tad over-exposed?? Seems a little washed out.
