This is a really nice image. The soft fluffy trees from the IR really fits the challenge well. Too bad it got DQ'ed.

Bummer about the time/date. Same thing happened to me on what was then my second ribbon, just after I'd gotten the new camera :-( Great shot regardless...

gorgeous. another (typically) brilliant example on the joys of IR when you have someone who knows what they're doing behind the lens! however, the decision to keep the pink on the trees is genius; gives it a great effect and does differentiate from what you would expect. it's really beautiful, and the mirror like flat water only enhances that. only minor criticism is that for the challenge focus doesn't feel soft enough. it has that glow, certainly, but i don't know, it just doesn't say it's any softer than any IR photo. so, err, 9!

Wonderful title. The shot seems to tilt, but not voting down for that as this is an amazingly beautiful shot.

I'm guessing this is a top-3 guarantee! ... smells like cotton-candy in an imaginary world. Very nice.

I'm a sucker for IR... but it's also a dreamy look with soft focus.

I could just eat those trees. Very beautiful. Nice play with words.

I lovr IR but I think this would do better in an IR challenge without soft focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love IR. It's just perfect for this type of challenge. Nice touch leaving the trees pink.

08/23/2006 10:10:37 AM
Pretty, but not sure I see any soft focus on the main subject, the trees.
