The Chase

#57 Semiahmoo Derelict

Semiahmoo, Washington about 6am early September 2005. I really like the colors in this shot.

I always wonder, when you come across an old boat or car, how long had it been sitting here? What was it like the day it was launched? What was the intention when it was put here - to rot or fix - it appears to be forgotten. I wonder how long will it stay?

Photoshop: In PS RAW I bumped up the exposure by 0.75, moved the shadows up very slightly and increased the saturation. In PS very slight curves adjustment, very slight smart sharpen - about 20%. No crop or other processing.

This would also make for a good black and white study but I really like the muted colors.
