    Wow. Way cool. I like that a lot. There's a face in the clouds at lower right looking right at the windmill!

    Tell us about it! Is the whole thing an infrared exposure?

    Peace,

    The face on the right in the clouds looking at the windmill is really cool!! Was that natural in the clouds or post-process? I've been thinking of converting my D70s into IR...as soon as I have enough for a replacement. Well done with this one!thumb.gif

    Howdy DK,

    Thanks very much, I really hadn't seen the face in the cloud until it was mentioned by Sanaka.

    IR and Clouds really go together. I have really been pleased with my converted D70s, but have seen some very very nice work with an R72 filter on a regular D70, might be something to play around with.

    Thanks again.
    Take care,

    Still trying to figure out if I like IR's in this color range.
    What I do like in this shot is the windmill against that sky.
    Other features are nice but somehow the color there against
    the sky doesn't mesh for me. There is a sharp divide. IMHO bowdown.gif.
    Composition is spot on. +++ :D Michael

    The only change I think I'd make would be to tone down that bright band just above the house.

    Thanks, I know a lot of folks don't care for the False Color post processing, but this to me worked well.
