Section of the Golden Gate Bridge with the San Francisco skyline. Not tack sharp, but that has to be expected when shooting through 3+ miles of moist air.

Sony A7, EF 400/5.6 @ f/11
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Spectacular image -- I love the graphic quality of the arc of the bridge against the dawn skyline. A touch of CCW rotation would make it just about perfect. A beauty!

Looks level to me. Notice the cables along the left side of the frame.

No need to be tack sharp on this one, the colors and the mood says it all. Very nice.

Stunning. The bridge is awesome against the warm sky and the cooler buldings is a plus to make this image!

Good point, though perhaps you meant to say 'plumb.' The shoreline in the background runs downhill to the right, so I guess the choice is lesser of evils (or perspective correction.) :wink:

Great job Jens. There a lot of lines in this one, and if I had to choose, the cables on the left would be my anchor as well. I imagine the bridge's engineering to have an upward bow, and the shoreline to be what it is, not a horizon... Love the cool versus warm colors.

Truth be told, I agree since verticals dominate ;)
