briandee,
I liked both of these shots. I haven't been to SF since 1968. I couldn't help but notice that your images looked a little hazy. I downloaded them to my laptop and opened them in GIMP. (Free image editing software), availabe here. www.gimp.org
I went to the "Color" tab and scrolled down to "Auto". I then chose "White Balance" from the drop down menu. The pics turned out crystal clear. On the rare occasion that "Auto WB" over does an image, I can always click on the "Edit" tab and then click on "Fade Levels". This way I can choose anything between the original and the fully White Balanced edit (man I love sliders). Give it a try, and post your results. I'd love to see them.

Default haze

i don't really mind the hazyness of them. to me it gives a feel of atmosphere and distance. really impressive though. the air looks cleaner than shots i've seen of it before. good stuff.
