I passed this place often and always felt that there was a picture there but I could not capture anything creatively outstanding. One day while working with the image I felt I should somehow create a sense of "beach" as it relates to this scene and came up with the beach ball idea. I sphere-ized the scene in Photoshop, layered it on top of the original which I turned into a black and white to make it less distracting and added a drop shadow to the ball for dimension.
