 San Francisco Yacht club race. converted from RAW, pushed exposure a stop, upped sat 10%, and dumped to PS. I cloned out a bouy that marked the end of the leg, and sharpened a bit after saving for web, but everything else I tried just made it look worse. Undecided if it was decent enough to submit, but...

Yep, fog is definitely what I remember about SF. This is a great shot and I love the sail colors with how they pop against the fog.

The tiltle a little wordy for a great photo that fits the theme like a glove and is well executed. I like this misty background.This just has a great feel to it. I see it and I'm ready to go with them and jealous that I can't ;)

I like the vibrancy of the sail against the subdued "fogginess" of the background. Nice contrast.

Nice composition. The contrast between the bright sail of the boat and the fog around the bridge makes this one a wonderful image.

I love the way the colors of the sail are so bright while the bridge is in fog.
