First thing I notice as I opened the image is that the leaves at the top of the image appear to be 'drawn' I do not think they are, they just seem like something I would find in a comic book. The various colour tones really give that aspect as well as the lack of detail in the leafs and sharp contours.

As I scroll down and view the whole image my first thought is, the voters would love this, even though it is not high contrast in my eyes. Personally for me there are way to many levels of tonal qualities to be a high contrast image.

The IR or affect you have on here does make a nice surreal image, though very comicy as I stated above. There is not really much else to say, the elements all work nicely together, though the foreground leaves distract a bit. Overall it is a very nice image, just not really high contrast.

Nice capture. The angle of the body really shows the movement.

Almost success anyways. I'm assuming he caught it? Nice shot, especially the monochromaticness.

Great catch...both of you! :-) You really got some nice rich tones out of your B&W conversion. Touch of sepia in there as well? Nice job!
