One of the best IR shots I've seen so far... Truly an excellent way of using the filter!

Very cool expression... I might have cropped to 4:3 ratio... maybe not...

I just had this funny idea... I wonder what this would look like with a fisheye correction... just for laughs...

Dude, I'm not too keen on your compositon here, but your exposure is sweet! Nice colors!

Leaping Lunatic

Sweet pic! I might have ditched the socks... maybe those green booties might have given the idea that the guy was barefoot underneath... Or better yet, one green bootie and one bare foot...

Nice lines for the pic... I like how the bottom line is very balanced to give a foundation, but the other lines are all off kilter...

The only photographic suggestion I have might be a reflector to bring him up just a hair... Given your experience, I'd probably best keep that one to myself ;).

Ouch, tough deal shooting handheld at 420mm through glass...

Have you experimented with Neat Image? It's pretty cool if you are gentle with it... It should allow you to get some decent results even up to around ISO 200...

You have a fair number of 'jaggies' in the whiskers... I'm guessing that you resized down in only a few steps?

Hair is a real pain for that...

I have an action that takes my largest images and slices them down 5% at a time like 20 times, then carefully fine tunes down to DPC size... If I need a different size, I use the history and jump back a few steps, then resize down in small increments...

I learned that it was important on my fly pic which had some crazy effects with different numbers of steps... weird moire stuff...

Using the action is the only way to go IMHO because doing it by hand takes ages!

I kinda like a lot about this, but have you considered using multiple layers, bringing out the eyes? Might be fun to brighten just the eyes up... It would certainly change the layout of the pic compositionally...

This is unrelated to the actual quality of the picture, but have you tried that lens at f/14 or thereabouts... you might find that it's a fair bit sharper... Mine is.

Interesting picture.. It looks like a complement to a story of some sort... I wonder what is going on... That's a good thing...

Regarding the cropping, I think it's definitely a choice...

I feel that if you leave it as is, the curve in the track becomes a major element in the picture...

If you crop it, it becomes a minor element and the streetlamp light takes its place as a major element...

Depends on the context of the picture...

Looks good!

Dude, you should send this in to Canon... It's pretty hilarious and remarkably well done... maybe they could use it... Tell them when they make it, you get the first sample free.. :)

Inverted Pregnant

I would love to see this done with some more geometrical shapes... I think it's very interesting to see the way that the shape of the pregnant body is brought out by the lines of the laser...

A retake might be interesting...

A little more attention, either by cropping, or using the laser, to the head/neck region might have been nice as well as just the tiniest bit more ambient light...

Converting to negative is such an interesting way to look at shadows...
