My original plan today was to head out to Warren for my photo. I haven't been there in a while and I was in the mood for some black and white scenes. A detour on Route 114 abruptly changed those plans, though. I'm not sure why the main highway was completely blocked off, but Warren was suddenly inaccessible. Instead, I stopped at Haines Park in Barrington. I took several photos, mainly of some reflections in the cove, but this is the one I really liked as a black and white. The simplicity of the leaning pillar with a small tethered buoy appealed to me. The reflections of the large dock pilings on the right didn't hurt, either.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted adaptive exposure, regions, color sensitivity sliders, boost black, boost white, contrast, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
