Providence, Rhode Island

I decided to drive through Roger Williams Park looking for a photo opportunity today. It turns out, the Swan Boats are back after their long winter hibernation. It was a beautiful day for a paddle and here you see a chance encounter on the pond.

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

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2014/i-5rGqMHd/0/XL/2014%2005%2018_0028%20copy-XL.jpg
How awesome are these? :D Are they free to use?

@justaspark They are definitely a fun paddle! Not free, though. They are $7.50 (€5.50) for about 20 minutes. Hmmm. Just realized I don't know if the Euro symbol goes before or after the amount. LOL)

Both is possible, you normally write €5.50 but you say 5.50€ so I would say it's fine anyway :D

What a lovely idea, I can just imagine the lovely scene they create on the water. Great capture

Wow, these are so sweet and sure look like a lot of fun! A wonderful candid capture (as expected of you might I add!) with wonderful reflections! x
