Barrington, Rhode Island

I went to the Barrington River at lunch today. There was a small flock of American Black Ducks along the shore, and they were kind enough to hop into the water and swim in front of the bridge in time for this photo. I've always liked the look of that bridge, so having the ducks in foreground worked out just fine for today's photo.

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-LDS4hcR/0/XL/2014%2007%2014_0044%20copy-XL.jpg

@justaspark Thanks, Jule! I've got to get there for a night shot at some point. Of course, I'll wait until "night" starts at a reasonable hour. LOL

Looks just lovely and I love the duck you caught flapping its wings! I don't know why but I really like that bridge too, looks very welcoming!

Brilliant b&w shot, Ron. Terrific composition.
