 Coit Tower, shot from the Embarcadero. I was actually down there shooting the Transamerica Pyramid for another idea I had for this challenge, and this was a quick grabshot of Coit Tower, and the only one I took, but I liked its tilt better than all the rest. Shot at full extension (250mm) on my Tamron superzoom, which I am getting to like better every time I take it out just because of its flexibility.

I'll probably get dinged for the bit of a halo around the trees, but hoping this at least does better than my average!

The colors appear washed out to me.

The colors look greenish, but the tower itself looks great - nice detail w/out oversharpening.

Interesting shot, I feel the sky is a bit noisey.

Saturated almost to the point of looking artificial, but I like it. The tilt really works for this one.

The colors in this photo pop out, and it is very sharpy in focus. Cropping out a bit of the background would have been better though.

Great choice for this challenge. The sky appears way over-saturated. 7
