Really beautiful Michael-I love your IR work. I might be tempted to remove the branch from the URC.Well done!

[Julie Kenward]

I had the same reaction as Denise but then I realized that branch filled in the hole there and completed the frame so I could go either way.

Beautiful photo - wonderful how you manage to get all the great tones of a black & white into these images...they are just spectacular!

Thanks Julie. I simply try to get a normal histogram and then in lightroom, boost the blacks; eliminate saturation, and boost contrast. That usually gives me a starting point

Hi Michael, Nice comp with the IR effect contributing great impact. I too am in favor of removing the branch in the upper right. The image would look fine without it...Nice job!

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Great contrast of the different tones Michael.
