Rope on a dock on the Maine coast. Shot on a foggy morning using Canon EOS20D. ISO 400, 1/400 second at f/3.5, with exposure compensation set at +1. 18mm lens.
Processed in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Used levels adjustment layer to set overall exposure, then dodged the upper left corner to lighten it. Next, I used a hue/saturation layer with saturation set to zero, and masked the rope to maintain its original color. I had to clone out a distracting hose further down the dock, and then sharpened using unsharp mask.
