I think I know where that pic was taken from e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
A very nice skyline piece. My chief "could be nicer if" item is that it seems a little too bright overall, not "contrasty" enough. A shorter exposure would probably be in order, and would also probably bring out some texture in the fog bank coming in. The Bay Bridge in particular (specifically, the amount of light coming off of it) visually dominates the view, and this great amount of light is overpowering the skyline; this is probably what is responsible for the overall "overexposure" feel. You may want to do a shorter exposure and splice the bridge section in (just the bridge's deck and the lights flanking the deck; the marker-lights on the main cables are fine as-is).
One thing that is missing is the Transamerica Pyramid. That building is the most iconic portion of the San Francisco skyline. I don't know if your equipment can get a wide enough field of view to get it into the same frame, but it would be fantastic if you could manage it. It's just off the right edge.
Now the things I particularly like! The composition is great; the bridge on the left really gives a nice sense of balance and depth. I'm also impressed that you managed to do this on a night where the waters of the Bay are calm and reflective. Usually at the time of the day when the fog is coming in there are also blustery winds chopping up the water's surface, and you wouldn't get the great reflections you've captured here. For that reason, this photo is something of a prize.
Well done.

On treasure island there are (up on the hill) a couple of houses, along the road through the housing area.

I love driving over that bridge, it never gets old. Unless there is traffic on the way back to the East Bay, then it sucks.
