I have made a couple of other duo-tones where the majority of the image was monochrome with just a small area of color. It seems to work well with just that little attention getter in a field of black and white.
This Is my first IR duo-tone, it seemed to be a natural choice. With so much of my IR in monochrome I am going keep an eye out for other possible Duo-Tones and hope to see some from you. |

After converting the image to monochrome the barn was fairly dark and I knew simply painting it with red would make it way too dark. So I made a negative of the barn and adjusted the Color Balance for a bright red and then layered it over the (Dark) positive. A bit of edge tweaking and blending brought the color inline with my memory of the real barn.

The barn is a counterpoint to the sky and mountain.
If I had shot this with a wider lens I would have made it an even smaller barn (and a bigger sky) to show the insignificance of human efforts compared to the power of nature.
The barn was colored (in great detail not visible in the little JPEG) . |

Great composition! I like the yellow trees, they look like they are made out of butter.
Did you try a little bit of Transform to reduce the keystoning of the tower?
Where is this Foggy Lights you used. Sounds like a handy tool?

I like the colour version of this but agree it would do well in monochrome.
Suggestion: there is a fair amount foreground, which you need and should not crop. But to guide the viewer to the more interesting areas of the image you could try putting a slightly darkened area along the bottom edge. The viewer will then look to the lighter areas which is where all the interesting things are. |

Yes, the rest of this images is just too good to be shackled with those dormers. Just scrumcious textures in the leaves, the wood door, the stones. Very nice.
I might tone down the top of the distance tree line, seems a bit bright next to your faux sky. |

Just popped in here to say how much I like your scrum photo in the Showcase. Great composition and that player's face tells the whole story. |

Just popped in here to say how much I like your Happy Texas shot in the Showcase. That sky makes me think of the IR shots I make.
Now that I'm here I must say this is also a lovely shot from Taos. Nice work. |

Thanks Trey,
I had not even noticed that small rock, but agree it should go.
I also find the bit of sky colour is reflected in the stream and so ties together.
I like the contrast of the rather wild natural tree branches with the rigid un-natural man made span. Maybe they are trying to tear it down. |

Lovely image. Don't you just love fog?
Did you know that August is the second foggiest month of the year? |

While here I have looked as several other months and like a lot of your work. |
