It's been shot a thousand times before and the light was poor last week when I was there but I had a couple of hours to kill when I was in Carlisle so headed down to Ulswater. The old boathouse seems to have been renovated and I feel has lost a bit of its character. What do you think?

Thanks to those who commented on my portrait attempt yesterday, appreciated.

Darren.

Beautiful subdued colours - a very tranquil scene.

A slightly different angle & comp to the norm Darren ... but you still managed to take out a couple of puppies though Wink

Just a quick clone or crop to remove that little bright bit top left though before printing mate!!!

Looks good to me Darren, I like the composition and the fact that there's no sky, like the autumnal colours and the reflections too!

Thanks everyone. Had to leave the sky out Sarah as it was flat grey so I concentrated on the colours and reflections.

Darren.

Well balanced and atmospheric. A great photograph.

Warm regards, Iain.

I think the boat house seems to look ok, but I know what you mean. The reflections and colours are lovely Darren

It does look a bit more more modern but still works well in your photo though.

Thanks everyone. It was a bit of an impromptu trip but luckily I had my camera bag and tripod in the boot of the car when I was delayed in Carlisle. Enjoyed my trip here even though the weather was not the best.

Darren.

Love the different take on this place Darren and the autumn colours.
When I was there in May there was a skip outside so looks like things have happened to the old place then.

It works very well indeed Darren. The pole and wind vane seem to have disappeared. The overall look to this though I like a lot Smile

Did you get to the Rally?
