Colour in winter

It seems to me sometmes the best colour is the most unobtrusive colour. This was taken on a grey day, with rain threatening. It was taken in a marsh like area near where I live, at that time of year where the explosion of life and colour that is Spring hasn't quite happened yet.

I took this to explore the possibilities (and to finish an orphan roll of film, in one of my camera bodies, that still had some Christmas photos on it :)).

In recognition of a recent thread here, I would stress that I post all of my shots in the "critique" gallery because I want feedback, both positive and negative.

Nice.

Its sooo tough to get good color out of this season. So much so that I almost completely think in terms of BW. This is almost like a bit of a wake up call, "Hey, there really IS color in winter!"
 
It just popped into my head...Color in Winter might make an interesting photo challenge...
 
Really like this shot, Matt,

This image could work in both colour and B&W. The delicate palette works and I don't know how you could do any better. IMO any critical advice would be subjective.
 
Thanks all for taking the time to comment.

Joey, I agree that Colour in Winter would make a good challenge, although I expect that the nature of the challenge is different here on the Wet coast than it might be in New Jersey
