Here's one I've taken while in San Francisco.
What do you guys think?

I was thinking of cropping it wide.
I'm quite satisfied with this, but welcome any inputs :)

I feel like it could be cropped a bit, maybe from the bottom right.

Nice shot though. I'm too chicken to take pictures of things that everyone takes pictures of. I walked right by the Grand Canyon without a click.

I always consider it a challenge to find a different angle or composition - or just improve on quality of what others have done... Not to be better but to improve myself... :)

Nice sunset shot but I find the sun to be a bit too much to the left and too much empty to the right.

Totally agreed, I cropped it for my desktop PC.

Man its tough getting the right framing when I was on a boat.

It would be nice to have things in the right.

Time wasn't on my side.

my thoughts.

its a very peaceful shot, until you see the choppy water. try adding some horizontal motion blur to soften the water and make it less prominent. i also agree the sun is too far left, ideally it would be located a third of the way in.

I'll try to blur out the water. Next time. I'll tell the tour boat to stop so we all could take pictures :-d

You'll have to tell the boat to stop rocking altogether if you want blurred water, unless you like blurred bridge.
