I was astounded to see that you did not place in top three in that challenge. It's a head shaker. I ran the vote pattern through a statistical analysis to see what was going on, and concluded that there was no unusual voting, just a plain old "gaussian" or normal distribution, albeit with a high standard deviation. I cannot explain this other than to hypothesize that some people just did not understand your submission.
I've had a similar experience with one of my submissions, with an even worse score. Granted, my photo was not nearly as good as yours. I voted yours a 10, BTW, one of only a few I have given in over 8,000 votes.
Don't take to heart the votes of those who seemingly have little imagination. You met the challenge, you submitted a strikingly beautiful, thought-provoking image, and many of us recognized that. Have fun with your photography, and please do continue to contribute to the site.

This will be my last challenge for a while, if not forever. Thanks for all the kind words... Dave

| I'm not sure if I really like this shot or if I'm creeped out. This was actually somewhere?? What a creepy cool place. I like your balance and use of shapes and negative space though. It makes a good backwards "L" shape that your eye follows back and forth. Well done. |

| Fascinating shot. Crisp,clear - looks like snow. Just unique. I've been experimenting with infrared too so this is an inspiration. [10] |

| I think this could have had even more impact without the tree? a good dramatic image |

| Very strange effect on this with the infrared. I can't tell what that stuff is on the tree. It looks like mashed potatoes! Really clean image and good composition. |

| Nice composition -- I think it was a good choice to use infrared. |

| I love good infrared photos, and this one is no exception. I think your theme here is very strong also. This composition screams of 'death' and 'solitude' in some rural cemetery on a lonely country road. The infrared creates a lot of good tension in this photo by illuminating the greenery into the normal IR glow mode. This is an excellent entry for this challenge. I don't like the title... I think there is a lot of room for creative improvement there :) Kudos on a great shot... = 10 |

Composition: Spot on
Technical: Fanastic colours and gradient of the sky. A weenie bit grainy, but not too noticable (and considering it's IR, I won't complain!)
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: A very memorable shot. |

| The infrared makes the shot look kinda weird.... The leaves (?) on the tree look like snow so that makes the shot look unnatural give the otherwise hot appearance of the rest of it. How did the original look? |

| This is my favorite of this challenge! It has an incredibly ethereal feel, I love the smooth gradient of the sky. I very much like the framing as well. One of the best artistic uses of infrared I have seen. Anywhere. |

| This seems like a really powerful site. Was the photo taken at dusk? I like the hues - the grays in the sky and the tombstones, and the whites on the grasses and the tree. Very nice composition also. a 9 from me. |

| IR has worked very well for you here, the quality is stunning! I love the textures, especially of the tree which is razor sharp. There's something about the placement of the stones that bothers me though, maybe I'd have prefered them not to be touching the tree in your photo. 9 |
