The jewel of Oakland, Lake Merritt on a beautiful night

I'm just getting into digital photography and this is one of the first

shots I've taken...after figuring out the settings on this camera. I

would love to see what you guys think of it.

You did very good for your first time, Gerry. It obviously was your first digital time, not your first time to shoot a photo! Very clear; clicked to make larger and it was amazingly clear and sharp. Good work and the composition is excellent. The fountain makes up for the fact that the most prominent part of the photo is way over on the other side.
