Hi Amy Elle,

Seems you're an IR fan, although this one is quite different than your graveyard entry in terms of IR toning. I'm personally not an IR fan, but the effect in this shot is effective. Your comments regarding gentleness of the tips is right on and your title hints at this intent. I see you're pretty new here - you'll find every kind of style imaginable among the members and registered users, but the styles that are more artistic don't tend to do as well as more traditional photos - which I'm sure you've seen by reviewing the winners and scoring. There are plenty of folks around that appreciate your style of work (if your first two entries are representative of what you like to shoot/process). Hope you find a niche here. It's a pretty interesting community. Welcome.

Hello from the critique club...

As far as the overall scene goes, great shot. Your setup is nice and your crop is good for me. However, The tones are definitely off. The trees and grass for me are just wrong. I've never shot IR so I don't really know what goes into post processing but I would like to see this shot with the tones changed. I do think you scored about right on this one. Experiment with it some and see what you can come with. Happy shooting

I like IR, but I'm not digging the tonality here. Different choices in post and maybe a rotate to the right and this would be better for me.

I'm not wild about the coloring (color IR?) of this image, but it's a nice scene.

Too murky looking. And it almost seems like an outtake from the Leaves challenge. While the shapes of the leaves are interesting, they don't necessarily seem related to "Quiet."

I like this shot but the lack of contrast detracts from it quite a bit. In my opinion, setting your black level and increasing saturation would have made this shot much more dramatic.
