City Competition 4 - San Francisco : Entry Number 1

The colors and repeating elements of this image help engage the viewer and contribute to a compelling composition. Use of long exposure also helped to smooth the water and catch the reflections off the surface which contributed to the success of this photo.

Driving home through SF, I decided to stop and see if I could find some interesting vantage point of the city and its bridges. I parked near pier 14 and walked out to the end of the pier. While bending down to get a lens out of my bag, I looked up and saw the handrail was blocking the SUPER bright lights of the shipyard in Oakland (far left side) and the rail also created a nice level horizon that the Bay bridge sat on. So I find my unique vantage point. Enjoy.
