Great time to take this shot and nice exposure.

However, it seems to be tilted (down to the right) to me.

Very nicely done. I recall the gate is quite ornate. is it lit at night?

Absolutely beautiful, a fairly busy area with a large street between sidewalks. The tone and detail are top notch. Was this done with a DSLR?

Excellent shot! I'm not sure if it is just me or some optical illusion but it looks tilted to me also.

Thanks Everyone for taking the time to comment

The tilt is an optical illusion because the top of a car is covering the bottom part of building on left. I will try and play around with this a bit more...picture was taken with my 40D and 17-40L. RAW file Post processed in CS4 and NIK software used for sharpening and noise reduction (I think).

Sparker 1..the gate is just beautiful but only lights are post lamps.

Every picture of SF city hall shows some kind of tilt. It's that funky town, not the photographer.

Be it the hills, the streets, the homes or the, uh, people: Hardly anything is straight in San Francisco. ;)

You are hilarious...living here I can attest to that. When I get out of my van I am either crawling out or falling out =)

It must be an optical illusion. Nothing tilts to the right in San Fransisco.
