This shot is from a place called Red's Java House, which is almost right underneath the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge. If you ever find youself along the Embarcadero in San Francisco, Red will fill up your cup and your belly.

I'm quite envious of this image and certainly think you deserved a higher score. (I was your lone 10) I've also tried to photograph this place and know it is a difficult shot. There is so much junk to be edited out, as best one can with a camera.
I think that this may have been stronger if everything to the right of the word "java" was cropped out, and more space given either to the sky above or the bridge to the left.
this could be such a great postcard shot! love the angle and subject matter. the bay bridge's supports appear a bit shiny-bright though, almost distracting. if I were in oakland, i'd buy this as a postcard, tbough! i like it a lot!
