Photographer’s Note
Another image from last years trip to San Francisco. In this case, looking south along Powell Street towards the city centre (with the Transamerica Pyramid in the distance). I was standing on the junction of Powell & Union Streets, at Washington Square Park.
Above the street you can see the cables which provide power to the bus services that run in this part of the city.
I applied the usual amount of post processing, increased contrast & colour balance, resizing, cropping & unsharp mask. Many of the photos I take with this camera tend to have a blue-ish cast on them, I'm not really sure why! So I managed to balance the colours to make it look more natural. Also I noticed the date information from the exif data was wrong! So I corrected it for this upload.

Hi Peter,
Good image of the action in this street of San Francisco, with the people walking and the car.
The composition is great, with the trees, the urban daily atmosphere, and the spider's web of cables of the buses standing out in the Californian sky.
Well done.
Regards,
Josep

Interesting street shot in the heat of the city. You tell it like it is; all those cables!

Very intersting street view.
The view of the young couple crossing the road is the highlight of this capture.Those artifical cables are well contrasted to the the natures green.
Good PoV.TFS

Hi Peter, this pyramid building is a famous landmark of San Francisco. Most of time we see it across from the bay. A good closer up view with the street scene.

Hi Peter,
Good use of the vertical format to portray the manifold layers of interest in this street scene. I like how the tower balances the frame and the young couple warms the scene. The poles and wires are a little distracting but lend the shot realism. A clear crisp shot. Well captured.
John
