Above the clouds
Fog rolling across the San Francisco Peninsula. Funny to look at this and think how many houses are buried beneath the fog. Comments and critiques are always appreciated.
Canon 40D, 400mm.

An interesting idea here Greg and one I think deserves additional study. From the looks of it I had no idea there was a city below those clouds! I really like all the negative space and find myself wanting to see/know more of what's beneath the clouds...

Greg,

A wonderful capture of the classic Bay Area fog rolling in. I like this very much as captured and presented, although alternatively you might think about a slight 15% or so crop from the top, maybe only 10%. And you could also darken the darks a little to provide a little more contrast in the fog. But both are really in the camp of personal preference.

Your thought of wondering about all the houses below makes for an intriguing view as well.
