This image was shot when I was staying in the Bay area in October, taking care of my parents as my sister took a much-needed break. Eerily enough, as I was emailing a copy of the finished image to her the morning of 1/12, she was busy making the arrangements for my father's interment via the Neptune Society, who will be scattering his ashes right smack in the middle of this view :-(
Our beloved Felipe Viejo passed away this morning, 1/12/2009. Pray for his soul.

Nice picture of a cloud. Or at least, that seems to be subject. I fell perfectly ambivalent about this image, which is rare for me - usually I don't like something or really like something. Maybe the frame is distracting me, as its weight at the top fights with the cloud for attention. Mixed in the cloud is a beautiful purple tone - would have loved to see that highlighted. 6
Very strong image of San Francisco. The clouds make it feel like "Gotham City"!! I like this because I'm from CA. 8 -BB
It looks like you just caught Alcatraz on the far left with Treasure Island by the bridge. I like how Coit Tower is silhouetted by the sunlight in the background.
the lighting on the water and bridge are fantastic - and the composition of the shot is outstanding - but i am not a fan of the purple tones in the clouds
Beautiful scene!!! wow. I love the hints of peach and pink in the sky, with the yellow at the horizon. Stunning clouds. One tiny nitpick - I think the white line of the frame is a touch harsh. Maybe no white, or perhaps at a lesser opacity. 7
