Wonderful capture and I really like your processing on this, Jim. My only complaint is that the animal feels crowded in the frame. I took your original and cropped it more loosely. I converted to monochrome, but didn't do nearly as good a job as you did. I just wanted to show a different crop. I cloned out a few distracting bits and darkened the end of the log to help maintain the illusion that this was in the wild. |

Cemeteries are one of my favorite subjects for infrared. I like this a great deal. You do have a bit of dark fringing above trees on the left side of the image, but that's a minor nit. |

Wow, those eyes! Wonderful capture and treatment. The only minor thing I would consider is toning down the brighter bits of hair on her right side. |

Wonderful story and interesting treatment of an otherwise unremarkable photo. I like where you were going with the antique look, but I think you went too far. In my version, I lightened it up quite a bit, then darkening the edges. Finally I took it into Nik Color Efex Pro and applied Glamor Glow to soften the image a bit. |

I like this very much, Peter. I'm reminded of some Asian paintings I've seen in its simplicity and almost meditative quality. |

I love photographing dahlias. The textures and shapes of these flowers really lend themselves to exploration, both with the camera and with post-processing. Monochrome was a great choice with this particular flower. I think of the three treatments you've shown here, I like Original 2 the best. There's just something about the flower and leaves that I want to see darker and a bit moodier. As far as your main choice goes, the only thing I would add is a vignette to darken the corners and draw the eye back to the center. |
