Desolation

Excellent contrast.. very cool image

Nice composition and tone! from friend Kim

I too like the contrast. Infra-red really brings out the weirdness in this scene.

beautiful, surreal, dramatic. incredible tones.

Surreal is the word. Great tone and composition (except for, maybe, the cropped branches of the tree on left side)

Nice infrared effect well done. Look good with the chosen subject matter.

Very nice infrared image.

Very nice infrared scape, good DOF and contrast.

Exceptional Photo, I love the mood of the image!!

excellent shot.. i like the the tree being on top and those heavy clouds on the backgrounds. it remembers me of a scarecrow. nice infrared too..

 

A good shot .

Excellent, a dramatic feeling. Good use of IR filter. I don't know too much about digi cams, but did you converted it to B&W digitally after the shot or with in-camera settings?

Interesting compososition--however, I think you can get a little more contrast in this. It's a little gray to my eye.

For Nestor: Thanks for the comment! Regarding when I convert to B/W: My camera does not have a B/W Mode, so I do the conversion in PS after the fact. I use Channel Mixer in monochrome mode for the conversion.

 

For Robert: I did play around a bit with the contrast before uploading this, but thought it darkened some of the branches too much, especially on the right. I'll attach that version and see if you and others feel it's a better version!

 

I appreciate the comments and suggestions!

Carol, I like the higher contrast version better. Thanks for sharing it.

Exceptional and special mood photo. Great contrast make this shot excellent.
