The kayak season must be over (or temporarily on hold) at this Costa Rican beach resort. These stacked plastic kayaks had a melancholy look to them, making me wonder when were they last used? I moved in on one end of the stack, and underexposed the image to make the shadows surrounding the kayaks even darker than they were. This underexposure enriched the primary colors of the kayaks, and also emphasized the dirt on them, along with a scattering of dead leaves. Despite the gaiety of their colors, the kayaks seem to be at least temporarily forlorn and forgotten. It is the incongruity between the promise of the rich primary coloration and the obvious symbols of disuse that express my feelings about this scene.
