    Sweet! Nice, clean, and sharp. I like the way the color tone came out. One thing I like to do is set the neutral tones (yellowish in this case) as the mid gray point using levels. This makes vegetation kind of white, and tends to make the sky darker blue.

    Thanks, James. I purposefully did not make the vegetation white on this one. If you seen some of my other IR images, I usually go for the milky white veggies and deep blue sky. But that didn't seem to work with this one.

    Thank you, Aaron. Yeah, perhaps I can just darken that corner a bit. I tried all sorts of angles but in every shot there was something extraneous. This one is the least offensive. Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate it.

    I have to say that I am usually not a big fan of the IR shots, but lately there have been a few making me say "hmmm"...Not sure I would want to mod the D3 tho :)

    In any case I really like this shot. The lines of the bushes move my eye thru the photo. The sharpeness really stands out as well.

    The contrast of color between the bushes and sky also works.

    Great shot..

    Cheers

    Still searching for the light...
