San Francisco Bay looking towards the Oakland Bay Bridge, late in the afternoon. I liked the repetition here. Bridge spans, rods & fence posts.

"The San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge (legally The James "Sunny Jim" Rolph Bridge and known locally as the Bay Bridge) is a complex of toll bridges in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, in the United States. Forming part of Interstate 80 and of the direct road route between San Francisco and Oakland, it carries approximately 270,000 vehicles per day.[1] It has one of the longest spans in the world." (Source: Wikipedia) It was completed in November, 1936.

Hi Chris
Wonderful capture and perspective
Light, shadows and colors are excellent
Thanks
Burak

Good Morning, Chris,

Impressive capture of the Oakland Bay Bridge!
The sharpness and POV are perfect. I like the position of the subject in the frame. Blue sky gives nice contrast to the golden colored wooden stage in the FG. The woman brings life into the picture, and indeed the fence enhances the beauty of the picture immensely. Excellent composition!

Have a nice day.

best regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hi Chris,

Hi Chris,

The repetition and crossing of lines is well seen in this composition. Lines, lines everywhere, including the lamp post. I'm curious about what appears to some type of vignetting in the upper right and left corners of the photo. Did you add that, or was it the polarizer's effect? Nice photo, San Francisco is an interesting place. TFS

Best regards,
Werner

Hello Chris,

Lovely composition with the fisherman amd the lamp standard nicely placed in the frame. I like how the shadows, the fishing rods and the line of the bridge all lead towards the boat and the distant land.

Super golden light.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Great shot
well composed
nice interaction between the verticals of the rods and lamp post and horizontal of the bridge
nice warm sunlight
Good job
warm regards

Hello Chris! Amazing happy angler, wonderful scene. Excellent bridge. Good colours. Good composition. Well done!

Hi Chris,
A coincidence that I was I here a few days ago. Fantastic blue sky aided by the by the polarizer. The Oakland Bay Bridge looks great at a distance, the fishermen and lines create attractive graphism. Regards.

I just love the depth of colour in this one, Chris
The blue of the water added to the windbreaker on the fisherman really create an interesting contrast: the cold of winter against the warmth of the sun on the wood.
Cool :)

Hi Chris...

Excellent shot of San Francisco Bay and Oakland Bridge...
Excellently done - fantastic view, details and colors.
Congrats my friend,
George

Hi Chris,

The diagonalline of the bridge is an asset to the composition. The presence of the fisherman has an effect of scale. The point of view leads our eyes toward the bridge which is giving depth to the photo. The intensity of the light is enhancing the colors. have a nice day.

Pierre

Also known as the Golden Gate Bridge? Very cool shot. A picture you don't see very often. Maybe I'm getting my bridges confused though. Again, beautiful shot, love the long shadows.
