Well sun was down below horizon and the light was filtered from the giant rocks/trees at the left side of the beach.

Excellent! Great composition and beautiful color.

the three day wait was well worth it.  beautiful.  kudos. aileen

the light kind of makes the shot. it's hard to photograph national landmarks in an original way without seeming cliched. i like the movement of the surf, but a longer exposure might have had even better results. also, it looks like you focused on the rocks and not the GG bridge. i maybe would have done it the other way around, since the bridge is the most visually-arresting thing in the pic. i would just keep doing this same shot over and over again with different exposure times and at different times of the day, until you absolutely nail it. if you had shot this just after sunset, you would have gotten the lights on the bridge, which could have added an element of interest. also i dont know if you used a polarizer but it doesnt look like it. SF skies are not only foggy, they're hazy--a CPL can cut through the haze, so getting one might be a good idea if you plan on shooting landscape with any regularity.

This is really nicely done. The evening light is really pretty, and the whisp of fog and breaking wave are really good. My only other thought is that the pink / magenta light in the foreground seems to be polluting the shadows, and looks a tiny bit unnatural. Usually the shadow areas will be more blue / cyan, even during this evening type of light. Still this would look just beautiful printed large and hanging on a wall.

 Great shot which stand out from many of the photos of this land mark. Great colour and spot on exposure.
