Main River

IMGP0448, originally uploaded by bostonaday.

I almost didn't post this picture to the blog, but I really like the composition. The execution is a little lacking, but I feel pretty good about the shot overall.

This was my first shot of the day, and it was pretty darn dark. Since I didn't have a tripod with me, I was shooting wide open, which means a small depth of field. The majority of the full size picture is the river, and the auto focus picked that as it's focal distance. If I had moved the focus out to infinity, I probably would have had a much better shot.

So I abused Unsharp Mask (I think I heard the pixels screaming) to at least produce a lovely thumbnail.
