Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
In our country we say:
April so sweet,
Sometimes wears a white hat.
or:
April does whatever it likes to do.
So it can be as your picture shows, I think in your country the weather is maybe more consistent.
Good impression of the calm atmosphere!

@Illuci: Actually I meant it exactly in the way that April does what it wants. It is mute in the sense that it won't say whether it'll rain or snow ;) Great comment Erik !
@Alun Lambert: Thanks a lot Alun :)
@Viewfinder: Oh Yeah :)

paulski from Muncie, IN, United States
interesting image; love the reflection, composition. is the "muting" natural, or did you dial down the contrast?
24 Apr 2008 4:53pm
@paulski: Thanks a lot Paulski, the muting is completely natural ;)
yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, Greece
nice image - I prefer it a little darker
24 Apr 2008 5:13pm
@yiannis krikis: Not in this case Yiannis :) you don't force shades and colours on a day that is overcast, misty and muted lol thanks!
@Hoopand: Hey Hoopand, thanks but you're wrong :) you don't force shadows and contrast on a day that is muted, misty and overcast, the image would be ruined!
amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
It is very lovely, Lorraine! The reflections are sublime. And of course I'm jealous of the lack of snow... yup, snowed again last night. :-( However, it is supposed to be a double digit weekend!! Woo Hoo! ;-)
