Swans at the mill

I took this yesterday, processed it and went off it. But I came back to it this evening because the autumn tones are good. I wish I knew now to alter the template for the colour palette to make the photo dominate more and make the boxes more subtle. Maybe I'll freak out my brain and do a course.
Adam is not a big cinema fan (apart from the Arts Cinema which is lovely) mostly I think because he made himself sick aged about 8 by eating too much salty popcorn - I missed the ending of 'The Pacifier' because of that and had to buy the DVD (which is OK because it's a fun film!). However he announced that he wanted to go and see Skyfall today so we managed to get tickets for an early performance and had a very happy afternoon watching Bond...James Bond.
Three good things:
1. Walking the dog before the filthy weather kicked in.
2. Daniel Craig (and Judy Dench)
3. Hot chocolates in a cosy chocolate shop waiting for the rain to stop before cycling home.

Very nice. And goes to prove that Autumn golden tones abound. Am I the only person who didn't go to see Bond today?

[Juliette Packham]

SO with you on #2...did you see DC on Graham Norton last night? mmmmm :o) and wasn't the weather just horrible today? I've got to run 13 miles in that tomorrow!! ugh! I've got plans to see 007 on Thursday next week...can't wait. I'll probably watch it again after that too!

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast I think so.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Lovely tones. Swans are always so photogenic.
@fueast - You're not alone. I haven't seen Skyfall either. :)

[Janna E.]

Uhhh, I really want to see Skyfall as well - if the little one keeps it together till Wednesday I'll go! Love the fall tones in this shot!

[Diana Moss]

Beautiful warm colours, it sounds like you had a good day

[Maggiemae]

I love your story and your three good things, made me envious somehow! Agree about the boxes though they go well with this picture! It's beautiful!

[Rashella]

lovely list of good things- beautiful palette of colors

[Pat Knowles]

You went to the pictures on your bikes, hope you locked them up safely!!! Sounds a great afternoon & the hot chocolate a suitable finish!
Love the bloom on this photo & doesn't look anything wring with it at all to me. I have no idea how you do it but love the paint palette at the side. I might go & see Skyfall although I haven't seen a James Bond film for years.

Beautiful shot.

[Jane Pittenger]

Agreere the template colors overpowering the photo but it's gorgeous nevertheless. Love the colors and tones

[Judith Johnson]

Love how the tree colours match the colours in the roof.

[Phil Howcroft]

[Melanie Savage]

Lovely autumn colours and palette. No babysitter to watch Skyfall in the next couple of weeks, I'm hoping we get to go to the cinema and don't have to wait until its out on dvd.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Beautiful shot and I love the palette idea xx

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Neat processing Judith, love the pic too, especially the white of the building!
