Providence, Rhode Island

I was on my way to Sunday Brunch at a restaurant in Providence this morning when I spotted this trio paddling a gondola up the Seekonk River. The water was so calm that they could get away with it with relative ease. Normally, we see these gondolas on the Providence River, and not in the open water off India Point. It was a cold day to be out on the water - about 30°F (-1°C) but as you can clearly see, there was no wind at all. I'd love to know where they were heading, but brunch was calling!

Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, 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-LMgMgtZ/0/XL/2014%2011%2016_0012%20copy-XL.jpg
Great mono shot, especially the foreground.
