Wet Weekend Commute
11 January 2014 -- 11/365
Providence, Rhode Island

I had to work today, and with a major hardware upgrade scheduled it promised to be an extremely long day. With that in mind, I stopped at Kennedy Plaza on my way in, knowing that I'd likely not get an opportunity to get out for a photo during the day. There was a light rain falling, and the skies were just starting to display a hint of the early morning glow. Despite it being a weekend, there were still a surprising number of commuters waiting at the transportation center downcity.

Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2014/i-FK3drGL/0/XL/2014%2001%2011_0009%20copy-XL.jpg
Apparently you weren't the only one working! I wish you could have been out Saturday snapping instead, but you certainly came through with an impressive photograph anyway.

I like the architectural elements that come through and the way the rain brings a shine to the image.
