Hi Jim,

How wonderful your capture is. This is a really unique picture of San Francisco. Usually, what we see about SF is solely the bridge. But this picture gives us another view of the peaceful side of it. You did a really good job composing this picture and the way you framed the picture is very professional. Well done. Greeting from Texas, a flat land place. (^^)

Hello Jim

Pure clean capture, nothing to steal away the attention from the rushing water.
What camera setting did you use to catch the tide like this?
Perspective and general composition works great, the element of mystery would be the Golden Gate... "what lies in that direction", similar question to that.
One thing that bothers ME a little, but really isn't that serious, is the fact that the opposite shoreline seems to be "bent", curved. Proparbly nothing other than the natural curvature from you lens but it just happened to catch my eye.
Well, thanks fro sharing.

Fantastic shot Jim!

this is different and unique picture of San Francisco. Lovely colours and tones of this beautiful city. Usually we see and foto only Golden Gate Bridge with SF. But this picture gives us another view of the peaceful side of it. You did a really good job. Good compo, contrast and just enough long time for a complete viewing pleasure and interesting effect with the water. Looks like a phantasy.
I enjoy it a lot and thanks for sharing!
