was to be in the Postcard challenge, but I decided to try it in the FS instead. PhilipDyer said at our GTG that I have to get past shooting at 50 mm, which is the longest good piece of glass, so eventhough the quality isn't that great I went with my cheap 70-300 at 300 mm. No way to get it too sharp, still I really like it. I hope others enjoy it.

What an amazing photo! I remember being so struck by the steep up and down streets in San Francisco, but I had forgotten just HOW up and down and steep they are. I'd hate to be a runner in San Francisco! But then, I guess those are the ones in the best shape in the world. Jeeeeez.
This composition is phenomenal! San Fran's pretty dippy! No where on Earth can you get a street shot like this, great eye....(time to nitpick) exposure could be a bit better, contrast is good, but try re-doing this so your foreground is brighter; those cheap lenses are horrible past 60mm, unless it's bright as hell outside, I know what ya mean.
this is insane .. the most brilliant photograph with the perspective, the road that looks like its going up into the sky and your pedestrian right in the middle of the road .. fantastic processing too .. WOW . !!..:)
I wanted to comment on this during the challenge. I thought the perspective was awesome. I'm getting dizzy from looking down at it lol. Love how the contrast brings out the track.
Very nice. Suffers a bit from the lack of a more prominent person at the fore (I mean physically prominent ... larger ... I don't know what the guy's financial and social status is). But it's still very good. 8.
The steepness of SF streets from this perspective is dumbfounding. Your composition and leading lines really bring that out. I also like the black and white processing.
