Today was typical for March in southern New England: cloudy, glum and raw. The water of Paper Goods Pond reflects the sullen sky. The Dark Strokes filter works well with the lights and shadows and the moodiness of the scene.

    I love the moodiness, it does look a bit raw. I love the name of the pond too, is/was there a mill near?

    Yes--Paper Goods is a mill pond. Just across the street is the now abandoned factory that had belonged to Sherwood Industries. Among other things, they made SherriCups. The pond was given to the town several years ago; it has a small parking lot and some benches on the side. The building is in the process of being turned into condos for people 55 and older. (It's a little scary for me to realize that I could now buy one!)

    I can, I like the "after" version better. It seems to enhance all of the key parts of the image.
