Aqueduct on Delaware-Raritan Canal in Kingston, outskirts of Princeton New Jersey.

Very beautiful. Seems like a trip backwards in time. Like a painting.

You've really transformed the subject, almost becoming something it isn't. Infrared really lends itself well to the subject matter. And I agree with the previous comment that it has become very painterly. Like it a lot.

This is Infrared film folks, not Photoshop !

 

The negative was drum-scanned as an RGB file. The sepia effect came natural to the scan. There is no manipulation.

Found this surreal ancient aqueduct on the Delaware/Raritan canal

near Princeton.

For the novice, this is not Photoshop. It is Infrared film, drum-

scanned as an RGB Positive. The sepia effect came natural. There is

absolutely no Photoshop manipulation here folks.

IR film put to really good use. Excellent shot!

Very Very Nice.

It's rather flat: 2-D. Did you want it?

I am used to infrared shots with high contrast -- tones are very quiet here (sort of the problem I had with the former POW in "One 2am too many"). I like the mood but can't get over the impression that something went wrong in the process. Still, it's a great composition and its mood speaks louder than the low contrast should allow. So I guess, it works!

I REALLY like the composition. I only wish that you had some zone 9 or 10 and even some darker black in the final image. I prefer a little more contrast, and everything is very muted. It's a really incredible shot though. I like the way the IR film renderred the leaves as though you were using a green filter.

Nice find. The only time I walked along that canal I didn't find much. Nice compositiona and good use for IR but I think I'd burn in the foreground and maybe the trees using a higher contrast.

Thanks everyone for the excellent feedback. I scanned the negative on the Imacon Flextight Precision 2. The low-contrast profile matches my output device. It actually looks decent on the G-4 monitor, much flatter on the PC though. Here's a tweeked version without having to re-scan on this monster-of-a-scanner:

Absolutely one of the best photos I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing. Not to be critical at all, I think the frame could be better, maybe. Still Love it!

The tweaked version is much better, The white's standout more and make a higher contrast image. I also like the sharper less grainy look this image has compared to the other one I commented on.
