Not the best angle of it, but about all we had on our approach to the Island.

Thanks

Okay flame me if I am wrong... but is that Alcratraz? (but I sure spelt better lol)..

its good btw.. maybe a slight touch of levels adjustment in the sky to boost it though as it looks like it was quite hazy.. and I'd crop the foreground also.. yeah I'm kinda bossy and feel free to ignore me... :)

Very cool shot - love the widescreen crop, as it gives it a nice cinematic feel. Shame about that warning/notice sign near the shoreline of the island. Would be convenient if real life didn't feature such distracting items :D

It was a very rainy day that day. Also I realised that it was edited on my laptop which does not have a calibrated screen so apologies for that. The warning sign is actually part of the original Prison facility, I'll post a closeup later on so you can read what it says.

Also while not an awe inspiring photo this is the view from the prisoners recreation area, from the perspective of the catcher (the grassy area in the foreground is where the baseball diamond was) I am also squatting right up against the wall where the catcher would have been. They would have had as much as 6 hours out in this area if they were lucky. Not alot of space for 300 - 400 inmates.
