My girlfriend and I were out shooting at the lakeside near Wrigleyville, and we saw this person sitting along the shoreline.

Not seen: power cables that intersected the tree, and a kite that was stuck at the very top.

Great compositon and terrific job getting rid of the powerlines and kite! One would never know they were ever in the shot. I love the B/W conversion.
