Taken along the shore of Lake Michigan at Washington Park in Michigan City, Indiana. April 2008.
This is my attempt at a Will inspired image. I processed this in Lightroom and CS2.
Very cool, Melissa. The processing is terrific and your composition is great! (I, too, am a fan of Will's work and processing techniques.) I like the look of isolation and loneliness conveyed in the compo and your terrific sepia work.

@Ian Bramham: Thank you so much, Ian.
Incredible. I need to learn how to process my photos haha. Great job. I'd definitely hang this on my wall.

@Edward James: Thanks so much, Edward. Well, if you really want to hang this on your wall, I'm sure we could work something out. ;)

@paulski: You've seriously never been?! Oh my gosh, you've got to go! Actually, this was only my second time to Lake Michigan, first time for the dunes. Forget the Indiana dunes and go directly to the Michigan dunes (Warren Dunes)...it's only another 30 minutes anyway. You won't be disappointed. You also should check out New Buffalo, MI (it's right before the dunes)...it's a great cute old harbor town.
Excellent composition and colors.
