Description
Thank you to everyone for the support...I never imagined I would see this day.Shot from Coronado Ferry Landing, Coronado, California. I had to test out my new D80, and this was my first shot with said camera.
Nikon D80
Nikkor 18-135
Velbon CX690 Tripod
Edit:
Post-processing in Photoshop CS
Levels and a closer crop.
Featured deviation on Cityscapes-Club 4/21/2008.
Second Edit:
The image is NOT lopsided. The shore extends further into the right side of the image than the left, and the two black towers (Harbour Centre) create an optical illusion of a crooked horizon. This is not the case, so stop telling me!
Thanks for all the support!
Third Edit (5/27/2008)
Cropped once more and added a border.
Fourth Edit (8/13/08)
1,300 Favourites?! My goodness!
Haters: NO, this is not a composite image. There is exif data for a reason.
Edit 10/24/09
Sadly, due to constant on and offsite rips, this is now watermarked and no longer available for download. I apologize to the many, for the few have ruined a great thing.

It never looked lopsided........As for the watermark, you have every right to protect your work.
Looks great!

My hometown. I love Coronado so much. That is where I am located (actually my parents) as of late, and cannot wait to go back. Thanks for bringing me back to San Diego via pictures. Excellent work.

Awesome image! I grew up on Coronado Island, it was fun to drive our car on the ferry, get out and enjoy the ride across to San Diego. A gorgeous night.

You do "America's Finest City" justice sir. I haven't lived there since the 80's but still consider it my home town. It is now on my desktop. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Photo.
