I like the foreground to background depth of your photos. All three are well done.

You're doing great justice to the landscape with your IR photography.

Thank you, Bruce. I am really happy with my choice to go with the 720nm conversion. Found that if I add structure in Nik before the channel swap in Photoshop, more fine detail comes though in the final image. Nice thing about Nik that is it can be selective as to not add noise to the sky.

Thank you, Ken

I'm thinking of seeing what the first one looks like on some metallic paper. I have printed color at home on but really do not want to eat up the ink for B&W. Any recommendations as to where to send off to?

I recommend Mpix. We've had great results from them.

Agree with everyone else. Love that first one. I love the way gnarled trees come out in IR and with the backdrop...very nice.

I'll give Mpix a try.... heard lots of good things about them.

Thank you, Todd and Keith. I was doing the happy dance after chimping the camera display on the first one. It was quite a gift as it had been 4 years since the last time I was at that spot. Due to time restraints of being in a group, I had to pass this without getting a photo. It ate on me for 4 years.
