day city I will not break your heart

I won't rate it but I will tell you why I don't care for it. The picture feels to me as if it were a vacation snap shot however I am not sure it would be easy to take a picture of this and not have that feeling.

The only ideas that come to mind to make it not feel this way is maybe at night or with a very high f stop and a very slow shutter speed so that all the people are blurred.

Anyway thats my 2 cents.

I am a native of San Francisco, Look at some other of my shots.

I am really trying on this to make Post card type shots. Not engmatic just good architectural reps.

Thanks for the comments very much.

I do have other more enigmatic images of this structure.

I think you've got the makings of a couple of good photos here.

First off, I notice that it looks like remnants of leaves or something on the top and left of the frame, and a wall on the right. If you had some kind of opening you were shooting through, I think it would work better to use that to frame the shot here.

The picture of the building itself is fairly straightforward, and not impressive. I think to do much with it, you'd need to get some exceptional lighting or clouds.

The heart looks interesting. I think perhaps a closer view of it, possibly with a person studying it, would be of more interest than the overall scene here. Buildings and towers are common, but big hearts in public places are not.

Its a slide didnt crop all the rounded corners.

I like your idea. I think I can do the Heart thing in an interesting way.

You may wish to look at some of my other SF shots.

Thanks

Enrique, I think it's a nice "postcard" picture. Sometimes we want to make those. But I have a problem with the leaning clock tower. It's hard to capture a building like this without distorting the perspective, but it's not the "Leaning Ferry Building of SF" ;-)

Take care,
