I think you chose the appropriate film for the day. It was a grey day. The colours would have been muted to the naked eye. Your shot reflects that.
By "bleak", I was not refering to the colours, but rather the overall mood (which you captured quite well, BTW).
I was just in a weird mood last night. And, your photo brought back memories of coming home as a kid, freezing cold, soaked to the skin, after trying to walk across such a field (short cut), and slipping on the ice under the huge water puddle.
So, I'm afraid those several bad experiences rather coloured my objectivity as regards your shot.
cheers, frank

One of the things I'm beginning to experiment with is Unsaturated, Uncontrasty subjects. In fact, my PUG wet picture is an example.
I find that wall hangers are easier on the eyes if they do NOT scream "Vivid Disney Velvia". Especially after a long time hanging.
And yet, vivid does grab the eye _initially_.

Too bleak.
