 Coit Tower, shot from the Embarcadero. I was actually down there shooting the Transamerica Pyramid for another idea I had for this challenge, and this was a quick grabshot of Coit Tower, and the only one I took, but I liked its tilt better than all the rest. Shot at full extension (250mm) on my Tamron superzoom, which I am getting to like better every time I take it out just because of its flexibility.

I'll probably get dinged for the bit of a halo around the trees, but hoping this at least does better than my average!

The colors look greenish, but the tower itself looks great - nice detail w/out oversharpening.

Interesting shot, I feel the sky is a bit noisey.

Saturated almost to the point of looking artificial, but I like it. The tilt really works for this one.

The colors in this photo pop out, and it is very sharpy in focus. Cropping out a bit of the background would have been better though.

Great choice for this challenge. The sky appears way over-saturated. 7
