Wow, I am sorry I've been so long in thanking you all for the kind comments.
Kerri, this was taken on a boat on the Susquehanna River in Lock Haven.
It was originally a color image, desaturated and cropped.
There is another manipulated image of Briana titled 'Simply Beautiful' in my gallery.
Best to all,
