I'm a big fan of that bridge and you got a great shot.... I've not 'seen' that framing before... I'll keep my eye open the next time I go up the hill. Have you ever seen the colored beacons that eminate from the top of the Trans America on Foggy nights? I'm PO'd that I cant go up there 'legally' at night to get shots of the city! You've planted a few more photographic seeds for me with this shot!

w24x192 - Nope, selective desaturation is allowed.

edwalk74 - Thanks for taking "stupid" out of your comment. I agree, in part, about the title. It amused me though so I left it as is.

just-married - The desaturation isolates the foreground frame (what is supposed to be the main subject in this challenge) from the background, bringing more attention to it.

Joey Lawrence - I did follow the rules, dude.

PhilipDyer - This was shot with a Sigma 100-300 f4 EX IF APO HSM. It's cropped but a little ways off from 100%. Would have liked to use a larger lens but I don't have one. There was no way to desaturate the vertical cables and stay within basic editing.

nikabika7 - In PS use the Hue/Saturation command and slide the saturation for every color except the reds to -100.

Don't care for the title but the photograph is one of the best. -10

Good eye, well done

Nice one - how'd you do it?
09/03/2004 06:48:29 PM
I thought that selective desaturation is illegal in this challenge...otherwise, a nice photo...
09/03/2004 05:48:52 PM
This is GREAT! Perfectly meets the challenge and does it with STYLE!

Good composition, nice framing.

The capture is terrific. I don't think the desaturation adds anything to this photo. 6

You did not follow the rules for 'Basic Editting'

Buy a subscribtion dude...

Really great Golden Gate shot. You must have a pretty sweet lens to get in this close - or this is a full-size crop. :-) The desaturation looks great, but you might also want to desat the vertical bridge cables where they appear in color in front of the light buildings. Really nice shot!
09/02/2004 12:58:10 AM
Great shot, good focus. I like the color contrast!
09/01/2004 08:03:02 PM
wonders how this was done by following the basic editing rules on this challenge.
09/01/2004 03:58:48 PM
really nice. 8

Very nice...the title could have been a little classier and simple but I won't mark you down because of it. 7.

09/01/2004 11:21:10 AM
cool idea here but maybe you could have cropped it more to make it a vertical photo?
09/01/2004 10:04:40 AM
Title?
09/01/2004 07:31:55 AM
great shot and desaturation.
09/01/2004 07:06:41 AM
Great picture.
09/01/2004 06:28:30 AM
Excellent work!
09/01/2004 03:10:07 AM
stunning, title not so clever thou 8
09/01/2004 01:23:32 AM
Well done, like it. Good choice of colours. Fits challenge.
09/01/2004 12:07:49 AM
I would have given this a tighter crop.
08/31/2004 10:20:53 PM
Awesome. The selective desat here I think works really well. It definitely makes your framing stand out. Great composition. Nice job.
08/31/2004 10:08:19 PM
*great* POV.. and the selective desaturation really works. Good thing downtown San Fran doesn't have more red buildings eh? :)
