Working on my own shot.

I have a tendency to look for pictures to “play with” from other people, and the great members of TravBuddy have been super in allowing me to do my thing with their photos. 

But recently I was looking through my own shots and discovered one that I took in San Francisco last year when we went up for a meetup.

First, I had to straighten it up, which creates long narrow triangles along all four sides.  Then I had to fill those triangles with the proper colors and patterns. Finally I needed to get rid of the cars in the bottom corners and fill the water with the right look and I was done.
