After reading the link Jerry shared on 08-26-07 (highlighting David Twede's work), thought I'd have an extremely timid go at adding some color to an IR... Initially, had more green in the stem and leaves but felt it was too literal (not too mention cutsy/nauseating with the whole pink/green thing) and backed off... not sure of the end result would love feedback though!

Take care,

    Thanks
    Thanks Skippy, Awais, and Chris for your comments. Greatly appreciated!

    - Skippy - the pink in the petals was retained IR info of the image; the stem, leaves and center were altered... surprisingly not using the same color scheme ne_nau.gif when the stem and leaves were green the center had more of a yellow characteristic when I made the stem and leaves more on the brown spectrum the center took on that characteristic although it was mask??? the sky was desat and curves run. Hope you get a few shots off would enjoy viewing them very much :D

    Take care,
    - Deanna
