Reason: High EV "Alcatraz Island is located in the San Francisco Bay, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) offshore from San Francisco, California, United States. Often referred to as "The Rock", the photo was taken at the Americas Cup Pier, in the background is Sausalito & Marin County. If you look closely tourist's can be seen walking up to the prison, from the ferry boat as a dark cloud lingers over the San Francisco bay.

Weak oppose Nice view, but unfortunatley too noisy and unsharp. Tomer T (talk) 23:19, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I thought the "dot" meant was the large, faint fuzzy thing in the sky at the left (just above the seagull). What is that? Is it actually a cloud? 86.171.43.177 (talk) 03:44, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Nice composition. Good work making that cloud hang low just at the right time. Drmies (talk) 02:34, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is a useful image, but it's unsharp (especially when viewed at full resolution), the colours look a bit off and the fog detracts from the image's composition IMO. Nick-D (talk) 00:22, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unsharp, overcontrasty. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 10:12, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
