66 Jan 23 Reply Henry, here is one possible B&W treatment. Thank you for the nudge. Jan 11th
66 Jan 23 Reply Here is a Black & White version. Since I could not tame the blue, it is indeed an improvement. Jan 11th
66 Jan 23 Reply Emil, I really like your version. It responds astutely to the suggestions of Jack, Gary and others. Thank you. Jan 11th
66 Jan 23 Comment Henry, indeed, this place is an IR photographer's wonderland. Thank you for going there, capturing this splendid image and sharing it with us. There is so much to like in this image, I do not know where to begin. The clouds are perfect, composition involving the trailer and car is great and the translation to B&W is spot on. However, to get even more of a Twightlight Zone effect, I'd be tempted to delete some of the vehicles left side, center, behind the trailer. Jan 3rd
66 Jan 23 Comment Palli, I like the sepia version. Gary's suggestion of using contrast to more clearly define the subject is OK, but I think the eye loses the opportunity to explore other details.
Thank you for sharing the steps and recipe of your yeoman work to produce 2 choices. Comparing and choosing is a useful reflective exercise.		 Jan 3rd
66 Jan 23 Comment Pushing the contrast indeed brought out the leaves on the path. I like how it leads the eye to that heavenly light in the distance. I can see what you mean about the fuzzy branch in the upper left corner. Because it adds little, I'd delete them. Jan 3rd
66 Jan 23 Comment Arik, I agree with you about the crop. Now the house is the subject. You are modest and humble about post processing. It is not that easy to render interesting believeable colors from an IR raw file. Well done. Thank you for sharing this lovely image. Jan 3rd
66 Jan 23 Comment The slide viewer company that made those now ancient slides is from my hometown of Meadville PA. Again, I admire your creativity, in this case, to use this historical format to frame in and color your IR image. Post processing was artfully done to render the right effect and tonality. Who would have thought that art can time travel? Jan 3rd
66 Jan 23 Comment Melanie, I like the contrast setup by the dark sand hill in the background. It makes an already strong subject, the tree, even stronger. Details are so sharp. My only thought for your consideration is using the Content Aware Fill tool to extend the black hill in the upper left hand corner. Jan 3rd

88 Jan 23 Comment Thanks for the observations. The darkening of the road was my choice, it was indeed higher than the puddle. The halo is interesting, I will check on this. Jan 19th
88 Jan 23 Comment Brian, the effort you took to get a unique view of this Opera House was so much worth it. You accomplished the goal of blending the reflection of glass into the harbor water and background buildings creating a seamless transition. Using so many adjustment layers helped you do this while also allowing you to bring out details in the Opera House facade and clouds in the sky. A very intriguing image. Thank you for sharing it. Jan 4th
88 Jan 23 Comment Trey, again, you have taken an ordinary scene and made it extraordinary. The sky replacement added much. I like the way you used the borders of trees to guide the eye of the viewer into the image. High marks for sure! Jan 4th
88 Jan 23 Comment Quang Phan, your goal of showing the layers and contrasting them is surely accomplished. The colors are natural and DOF is excellent. The sky is a bit hazy, but other than that, it is a grand landscape image. Jan 4th
88 Jan 23 Comment Mark, Niagara Falls is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and it is easy to see why. It is so powerful, so awesome. I liked that your image is of the American Falls, which is often overlooked. Including the tourists and gulls gives scale to the image. There is a perplexing loss of detail and sharpness in places' which may be caused by the mist, but probably not. Did compression to 72 DPI cause this? Jan 4th
