Description The sunrise over Alcatraz Island shot from beneath the Golden Gate.

Original image: 2100x1200

A History Bit:
Before Alcatraz became an legendary penitentiary, there was its fascinating military history. Many people are not aware of the fact that Alcatraz was once the strongest fortress in the West. Actually a military installation from 1850-1933.

the colors are great and so is the location. the only thing that bothers me is the horizon line.. it kind of divides the image in half being so in the center

Awesome colours! You managed to make such a cold, uninviting place looks almost welcoming! The boat adds no end to the composition too.

Thank you. My main focus of the image, since it was fairly well framed, was to work with the colors. It's actually not to far off the original capture image. But there is some color saturation and such work with it. I was also contemplating whither or not to remove the boat. I'm kinda glad it remains. I thought it worked for the image along with the aftermarket birds. Thanks again.
