I hope you end up with one of those yellow cards from the Post Office; "Too Much Mail to fit in Box"

Golden Gate Bridge, Clouds.

Your image adds a degree of "moodiness" not typical of shots from this location. I've been working recently on capturing cloud detail and texture like that, but not quite so successfully.

The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer
by OneSweetSin

Comment:
His grip on the brush looks a little funny -- maybe if he'd been holding it up. Tom's also frequently pictured in a tattered straw hat. Also, although the light looks strong, it looks a bit harsh -- logical since it's likely Winter and not Summer lighting. A Sepia or Duotone treatment may have made this look a little sunnier ...
Overall a good representation of a classic scene from the book.

"The Lizard of Oz"

Thank goodness someone had the nerve to post a twist on a title -- I'll be posting a few as out-takes after the voting, but I ended up going with a "straight" interpretation myself.

Good luck! Someone seems to have opened the drain on the humor reservoir around here lately ...

Blue And White

I like playing around with the colors in sky shots, but this looks pretty close to a straight inversion, which is not usually the best color combo in my opinion. I might be a teensy bit oversharp too, but I often like things with less sharpening than other folks.

The combination of cloud types, with the cumulus right down by the water makes a strong abstract of three major shapes, with a dynamic aspect accentuated by the streaky clouds.

I think it's an interesting "digital negative" (in the figurative sense) I personally would play around with more, but could be exactly what you want too.

When I first read the additional info and saw "Brisbane" I thought, "don't you mean Colma?" Then I noted your actual location in the antipodes (I've waited a long tome to use that in a sentence!).

There is a US National military cemetery in Colma, California which is right next to Brisbane, California. In addition, a search of the Yellow Pages for "cemetery" in Colma will return 29 entries -- hence its informal moniker of "City Of The Dead."

Cool job -- I just tried taking a time-lapse of a really cool cloud yesterday, but I think the highlights are too blown out to be useful. Although, maybe as a test it would work.

Thanks! And all you other commenters picked up some "helpful" ticks since this was from before the institution of that feature and I hadn't been back to see it.

Good idea ... I have some stuff like that but didn't think to use it for this.
