When the fast moving clouds kissed the upper red lights, Golden Gate Bridge started a most beautiful dynamic show with red glow and the blue background. With the addition of the ocean reflection, it's a complete scene for the 17mm wide angle lens.
They are both nice photos, very nice actually. But I just feel like you didn't really work hard enough for both of them. Like you did for one but not the other.
But in the end you have 2 beautiful photos of a beautiful place that thousands will view within days being on the front page of dpc.
Congrats!
I know it's not "technically" the same photograph, but for all intensive purposes, it is.
While they're both very lovely, I don't think they both should've been allowed according to the contest rules. JMO

Gene, when you go to a beautiful place. Do you release shutter only once? If not, do you release twice "purposely"?
I am sorry but I am different from you. I don't have time to consider how many shots do I need to take.
My camera was on the tripod and I took 5 shots, all of them have the same composition but different clouds because they moved fast.
BTW, which rule said this is not allowed? Please read the rules carefully yourself.
It would be based on this one: "use the same original image in more than one challenge."
While I agree that when you are in a situation like you were that taking many photos is the thing to do, I don't agree with using what is essentially the same photo in more than one contest.
As I said you are technically correct in using this second image, I just don't agree with it. Again JMO.

Both images are stunning Gene! They may be the same subject matter...(which I have found subject matter to be repeated in many different challenges...by the same and/or different photographers)...but they are different captures of the same subject. Fortunately for William...he was in the right place at the right time and was able to capture some exceptional images.
As photographers...both professionals and amateurs are bound to happen upon the same or similar scenes frequently. IMHO...I think both of his ribbons were well deserved.
I can only dream of someday having the equipment, the skills and the timing to capture something this beautiful.
Damn, the high saturation and the softness really sets up a cozy moode. Nice line depth and diagonal composition too. Just curious, did you use the photoshop plugin neat image?
I don't have that plugin. I use the build in dust & scratch filter of PS7.

OPEN YOUR EYES, they are from two different original images. Why don't you put them side by side and compare?

Beautiful work, congrats! It's even possible to crop it to a panorama, taking off the rocks in the foreground - makes it simpler and more painting-like. But beautiful as it is...
Wow, congrats on your red! Looks like you got your ribbon after all. = )
Thank you Briana. I thought I would miss top ten because my starting score was so low and there are so many excellent photo in this challenge. This is my first speed challenge and free study. I was so nervous.
Wow I'm jealous I never could figure how to get down to shoot this image when in San Franciso Area. You nailed it. 10 psart good luck. Look forward to more of your shots. Hope you offer this one for sale....
Gorgeous shot! Can you PM me and let me know where you took this? I'm visiting SF this week and am looking for good spots to shoot the Golden Gate. Thanks!
Golden Gate's colorful night
