The Garden

I'm not sure if this is "chocholate-box art" or not... So what do you

think...is it kitsch? :)

I rather like it

I like it as well. This is IR, right? I think that gives it a surreal effect. In particular, I think that the dark clouds above keep the picture from feeling kitchy.

Great image. This look like a fairyland.

I hope this is not PhotoShop. It's so beautiful and got it own unique. I just love it.

Beautiful fantasyland, Lukas. Cheers, Sondra

Outstanding use of near-IR. The tonal range is excellent, the composition works very well, and the overall product is almost dreamlike. I really enjoy this shot.

No this is not photoshop:) It's Maco820c IR film and very special lightning conditions. There going to be weather change and very thin layer of clouds covers the sun. There are still shadows in scene but harshness of IR light is gone. On big prints (30x45cm) I'm darkening the sky to make tiny little clouds more vivid. So now I can live with this shot in piece:)) My friends say that is ok, but sometimes I'm in doubt if isn't more sweet than surreal. Its SURREAL ivy thing, hey hey :))

this is a b-e-a-utifull picture here ! Nice use of B&W and i like the drama effect of the sky ! Well done
