The rich morning colors and sunlight falling at a low angle create a bit of magic for this bucolic scene!
Since your intended subject is the silo, I would be inclined to compose the image without the building on the right , which is just a nonde building and does not really add to your silo, IMHO. Just cropping may leave the image unbalanced, and a better option might have been to compose with a bit more included at the left border. |

Well thought out and executed image! It has more impact with a slight increase in tonal contrast. |

You got the blur and sense of motion just right! I would probably brighten up the cowboy's face just a bit. |

The harmonious colors and composition of this simple image are great! AAnd the result is quite artful and pleasing. As Pierre points out, if you print and mat this image, it could stand a bit more headroom, and will seem cut off if you take any of the top away with the mat.

Beautiful scenery and a long canyon in the wide open spaces!
The brightly illuminated peaks seem to unbalance the image which has its foreground and vantage point close to the tonally darker ground and highway. It should be possible to create a mask to hide the peaks and sky, and to crank up on the darker portions of the image to find a better tonal balance. |

Judy, I think the answer to your question is a technical, but the short answer is the bricks absorb the sun's energy and re-radiate the absorbed energy into the infrared spectrum. So it is certainly not unreasonable to suppose that the infrared photograph would show increased contrast over a regular digital camera's which includes a filter that cuts off the infrared light. |

The Camera: The camera was a converted, 20D body. The conversion replaced the camera's internal ir blocking filter with a 590nm internal filter, recalibration of the autofocus and metering for ir.
Sensitivity. The converted camera is quite sensitive in a sunlit scene. The image above was taken late in the day in a shady locale without any direct sunlight. I normally use spot metering, but this old camera body does not have that, and so matrix metering was used along with exposure compensation to get a correct exposure. |
