Wickford Harbor

Wickford Harbor
12 March 2014 -- 71/365
Wickford, Rhode Island

The mild weather continued today so I decided to visit Wickford. I was hoping there would be some fishermen or some lobstermen around the docks, but it was pretty dead, today. I took several photos around the docks, but really liked this one with the ladder lying next to the wharf. Presumably, it's to allow a boater access to their boat, but since the ladder was up top and the boat wasn't there, I'd say someone's in for a surprise when they return.

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-PBztRdn/0/XL/2014%2003%2012_0014%20copy-XL.jpg
Looks like a beautiful place, and the reflections are great!

@justaspark Thanks, Jule! It's one of my favorite spots in RI. It's a tiny village that dates back to the early 17th century. I could do an entire year's worth of photos in that one village.
