28-10-04 dull grey day

Very very wet today, and very very grey. Not nice at all. I got absolutely soaked walking the
last bit to work this morning. But at least when I got there it was fairly warm, and I got a big
bit of work out of the way today. But like the weather, it was very dull, so I'm not going to go into it!

I took today's shot whilst walking back through the park, these are the leaves floating in the
fountain, they were nice and bright, but it didn't really reflect the sombre cold feel to the day,
so I changed it to black and white, and added a bit of noise.

Apologies to anyone who's commented on my photo's over the last couple of weeks. I know that the
deal on comments isn't a give one get one thing. But I like to think that if someone has been nice
enough to look at my work, and nicer still to leave me a comment, the very least I can do is go and
have a look to see what they've been working on. So I'm feeling a bit guilty just now, but I
should have some time this evening to catch up with some people!

This certainly conveys the mood you were after!

agree totally, got soaked on the way to worked too, took ages to dry, was in all day, except for a long lunch with lesley and then had no time on the way home, I feel bad when I miss seeing the galleries for a few days too,

I like your picture though, it does sum up the dull days just now,

Dominic, I had an idea with this kind of shot, will try it out tomorrow.

And worse weather today! I though this was granite chuckies from the thumbnail.

See there are some advantages to dull, grey, wet days...you got this textured shot..& wet feet of course :>)

WOW! Beautiful textures! I like the graininess - it adds significantly to the aover all feel of the image!

There's a wonderful texture here. The greyscale is perfect.

I like the various shades of grey!

I thought they were pebbles at first due to the toning. Great treatment!
