This is great. The processing really makes this image pop.

Love the composition of this, must say you have a great eye for an image I can't help feeling that to anybody else this view would have looked a bit ordinary but you've brought out a lot of specialness.

lovely sky, intense feel from the processing, and good use of leading lines to pull us in

I lived in San Ramon off and on for about 10 years in the late 80's and early 90's. Nice place. Nice weather. This is an interesting take on it. The houses along the left, at first glance, look like cliffs or rims of a valley ... then I look closer and they're houses. I like that inthe photo. And at first, you don't see the freeway next to the gravel road, and then you do. And at first you don't notice the curb, and then you do. Overall it's a bit sureel. Well done.

that's crazy, my friend lives in that complex on the left I think. Looking forward to seeing who this is, I go out there from San Mateo all the time. Very nice HDR look, very San-Ramon-looking

Great landscape and processing. Not so sure about the border. No vote, just commenting.

HDR? If not it doesn't matter - it works. I really like the pp here.
