I've been cleaning up my Lightroom catalog and came across this shot I took August 2009 just after getting my first DSLR and thought I'd share it.

All comments are welcome.

I'm wondering if maybe I should remove the red raft and the small sail boat to improve the image?

Any thoughts on this?

Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't like to have lived there! Good photo!

You're right, I wouldn't want to live there either. Thanks for stopping and by and for commenting, it's much appreciated.

Excellent shot! I've been informed one could live there rent-free...

Thank you for your nice comment about the photo. I don't think that the former rent free residents really enjoyed the place even though it has a great view of San Francisco.

That's a nicely done photo, flyguy, and I think removing the red raft, and the small sail boat would probably be a good idea. I've never visited Alcatraz Island. I always figured they find a reason to keep me there.

Thanks and I agree with you that it's better to remove them because they are a distraction. Thanks so much for your comment about this
