Strolling by the Dry Dock

I was extremely pressed for time today, so I stopped at one of my safety shot locations near Bold Point on my way home. I liked the scene involving this boat (that reminds me of the S.S. Minnow for some reason) and the worn appearance of the boat repair warehouse behind it. The barbed wire fence in a bit of disarray added to the attraction. I was taking photos with various settings and from slightly different angles when out of nowhere this girl just walked right through the scene. She obviously knew I was taking photos - it's hard to miss someone standing in the middle of the road with a camera to his eye - but she clearly didn't care. Well, neither did I. In fact, the inclusion of her in the overall scene adds and interesting element to it in my view.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, and regions. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
Another great shot Ron! I think you have some super power when it comes to street photography, people always seem to come out of nowhere just for your shots! Haha, wonderful! :)
@lilminimonka Thanks, Brianna! You may be on to something there. This is the absolute last place I'd have ever expected to see somebody walking. I have NO idea where she came from! There's nothing else out there!
