Nice shot, Gabriella! The crop is a little right and seems somewhat confining. If you can, re-crop with a little more "surroundings" to give the picture a feeling of "space."

I think I prefer this one, Peter. Not to discount your previous submission with the post-work done; I just prefer "real" pictures as opposed to painted/artwork type pictures.

Looks like something went wrong during the initial picture.. It seems kind of grainy -- almost like a scan of an old(er) picture.

Kind of in the middle of Yerba Buena and Treasure Island... I'm not sure where the "line" is, but where I parked, there were government signs everywhere saying "No trespassing", "No parking", etc... I figured I wouldn't be there long enough for it to matter...

Very much so... And FREEZING. I only took about 9 pictures. By the time I was done, all I wanted to do was get warm!

Mike,
For the money, I think the 100-400mm is an awesome lens. The 400mm (non zoom) is like $7000 bucks. In contrast, the 100-400 is only $1400 or so. The 2x extender is another $300... So I get the flexibility of a zoom, IS, USM, the 2x Extender, etc. All well worth the money.
If I had taken this with a telescope, it would have had tons more detail. I've seen telescopes that were much less expensive than the Canon EF 400mm lens, as well. I'm not quite there yet and Astrophotography really isn't what I'm looking to do so it's a little hard to justify a couple grand on something like that.
That said -- if any of my kids ever get into astronomy -- There's my excuse!

Gabrielle,
One thing I'd suggest here is using the flash for fill-light... The weather there looks amazing! Nice job.

Hehehe. Actually, I shot this with my new 100-400mm lens with a 2x extender -- Yeah, I cropped it (obviously) but there was a ton of detail left in what was left of it. I did lose some detail in resizing it, but the printed version is amazing (not to mention a ton-of-ink!)

Wow! Talk about some amazing detail here! Great job, Khaled!
Have you considered doing the "Dragan" effect with a shot like this? If you do a search on google, there are some techniques -- I think this would work well with that, too.

Nice Abstract, Khaled -- What's the white spot on the chair? Glare from the sun or a flash?

Some story! Wow. Definitely like the rainbow -- Did you think of cropping the top part of the picture? I know it shows the darkness of the clouds but your subject is the rainbow -- perhaps the top is more distracting in that case?

Interesting composition... I'd almost suggest, if you could go back, looking for different perspectives to shoot this and submit it as this months project... I see a few possibilities with this sort of scenery.

Wow... There's an incredible amount of detail in this shot! I think a good title for this would have been "Texture" or something along those lines. Great job!

Joe, I think something went wrong when you resized this... There's quite a bit of pixelization going on here... Was that intended?

Larry -- Good shot... I wish there was a tad (no pun intended) more detail in the lower portion of the picture... I really like the reflections on the water.
