Thanks, Melanie. I've seen many photo workshops advertise the area as the "Tuscany of North America." It makes me chuckle since instead of Italian villas, you have old barns and trucks, but the terrain does compare favorably. It's sort of in our backyard (i.e. a five hour drive) so we do find it easy to get over that way every year or two.
I totally agree with you about the contrast. I've submitted a version processed similarly to Gary's version to a regional photo competition. We'll see how it does. |

Thanks, Charles. It is an outstanding place for IR. I have one friend (Thibault Roland) who leads workshops out there every year with IR as one of his key themes. |

It occurred to me after submitting my entry that I should have done a little "what would Gary do?" processing first just to see if I liked it. What I came up with was very similar to your version and I have to admit that I preferred the higher contrast approach. You're rubbing off on me, Gary! |

Emil,
I'm a sucker for a good waterfall shot, especially one taken in the Smokies! The IR, combined with your monochromatic processing, really brings out the textures of this scene. I can almost feel the spray! I like it as is! |

Palli,
I too will miss your insightful comments and wonderful images. Take care and best wishes!
I love the tree and the processing. Lots of drama! I have to agree with Gary about the top, but perhaps a bit of cleanup and some extending of the frame would create much the same effect. |

Thought-provoking image, Gary. Your creativity really shows in this concept. I really enjoy the possibilities provided by the way IR bleaches out flags. Kind of a ghostly effect. My only complaint is that the transition between the surface the man is kneeling on and the surrounding grass is oddly blurred in places. |

Nice one, Charles. You handled processing well (though I don't tend to like sepia much) and it makes for a very compelling shot. If you feel up to it, you might consider going in and cloning out all the tags to give it a cleaner look, but you could go either way. |

Jack,
I'm OK with the crop. In a perfect world, I'd prefer that you had included the left edge of the tree. I'm afraid you're going to have to go back to Cambodia, find the woman, and reshoot <g>.
Seriously, the overall image works well. The foliage is well handled and I like the placement of the woman. |

Arik,
Good angle on a great subject. I like your light processing touch. I also agree that I'd like to see it a bit lighter. I would also go for a more neutral tone, but those are personal preferences. |

Lovely image, Melanie. Trees are both amazing and frustrating things to photograph well. I think your upward angle works brilliantly here. The blue is just right. |
