 Quick shot on my way to the ferry for my evening commute Friday. Beautiful hot day in San Francisco, just a grab shot that I was playing around with for the challenge and liked so here it is. Shot with a polarizer to darken the sky. No idea how this will do ... this is a hard one to predict. I think this *looks* like a negative, so I'm hoping it does well.

The thick border top and bottom is supposed to be evocative of the strips of a film negative. If it would have been legal, I would have made cut outs for the sprocket holes too!

I don't like the top/bottom border. It makes it look like a letterbox movie. Is this the Oakland Bay Bridge? Nice image and tones. Contrast this with the Golden Gate picture.
