Great job with the HDR processing. Lots of great detail here. I liked Jim's suggestions and did something similar plus I took a pass at fixing the haloing around the tree on the left and the cables coming down from the front of the shovel. I used the clone stamp tool, set at Darken mode with an opacity of 80 and cloned from the areas immediately adjacent to the problem spots. I didn't do a perfect job, but was able to deal with most of the obvious haloing. |

Nicely processed, Jim. Excellent control over the shadows and highlights. |

I like this a lot. My only suggestion would be to crop in about halfway up the lawn and take out about a third of the sky to get in tighter on the castle. |

Wonderful subject for B&W! I lightened it a bit overall and incorporated Jim's suggestion for lightening the face. I toned down the arms a bit to balance Neptune's body's tones. I also lightened the cherub. |

I love the lighting and processing. The only suggestion would be to remove the "dogleg" on the right edge to create a straight streak across the back of the image. Here's a rough example. |

Thanks, Jim. I like what you did. I usually get dinged for not enough contrast, so I appreciate your approach. |

Ferns are one of my favorite things to shoot in IR. I agree with Gary's crop and processing of the trunks, but otherwise like this a lot. |

Nice composition and treatment. I especially like the rendering of the reflection in the water. My only suggestion, which is similar to Gary's, is to add a vignette around the image. |

There's a definite mood to the image, but I find it too blocked up in the blacks for my taste. |

I agree with the others. You found a terrific point of view and made the most of it. Well done. |

My Lightroom catalog has probably got hundreds of empty park bench images. There's just something compelling about them that I can't resist and your image is a great example. I really like what you did with the revised version. |

I don't think I can add much to the other comments. Great find!
I hope you did manage to spot at least a few frogs. When we were in Costa Rica a few years ago, the frogs stayed well hidden away when we came through. Lots of birds and monkeys, no frogs. |
