Thanks again for another ribbon for the olympus c2020.
The reason the sky is blue is because the hoya r72 infrared filter does let through a little visable light. Also this particular camera gives very good IR results with it`s automatic white balance.

Swapped red/blue channels
Levels
Desaturated yellow
Boost blue saturation about 20% and neatimaged x 3 with sharpening.

I do a lot of infrared but i've never been able to get the sky to look like that. how did you get the sky so blue?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/05/2005 08:10:37 PM
Very awesome photograph. It was one of my favorites also. One question though. I don't understand IR photography very much, but how did you get the color in the sky with an IR filter?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/05/2005 08:07:06 PM
Wins the day. Great infrared. Congratulations on your Red.

Weird placing.. as far as I know, boats are far from obsolete... broken ones may not *work*... but.

Ah well.. nice shot anyway.

07/05/2005 08:02:35 PM
Congrats. This was one of the ones I rated highest. It has everything unique - but with all the qualities worthy of a winner.

Bumping you up from a 4 to a 5. It's very nice, but the infrared has been overdone in the last few challenges IMHO.

Infrared, I presume?? Very interesting!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/02/2005 03:11:52 PM
Wow. What an interesting take on an infrared image. I like how different it is from
all the infrared trees we're seeing now.

07/02/2005 01:17:06 PM
There is a painting very similar like this photo. I like it very much!!!! Everything is great

Lovely as always! Beautiful clouds, great angle.

There are quite a few things I don't like individually with this image but somehow the overall impact overcomes them all. In the end it is among my top picks. Good luck in the voting.

cool picture marbo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/01/2005 05:55:17 PM
This is a really cool shot. My husband looked at it while I was voting and said it reminded him of the effects in the movie Gladiator where Russell Crowe is walking through the fields as he is dying. Nice job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/01/2005 02:41:47 PM
The perspective of the boat, against the blue sky really lends a lot to this image. I am a big fan. What is more obsolete that a boat in the desert (or at least it looks like desert). 10.

The more I look at this one the more I like it. Upping my vote to a 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/30/2005 02:28:02 PM
this is a neat photo. I would like to see the color version or a B&W version to tone down the white of the foliage. other than that great! 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/30/2005 01:43:59 PM
You have it. The contrast is great for the boat and sky. The grass?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/30/2005 12:08:09 PM
I'm not sure of the use of infrared but interesting none the less.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/30/2005 10:45:23 AM
Interesting, but I prefer color to snowy looking grass and vegation. The sky looks purple this way as well. Cool boat - might have worked well in sepia or b/w if you wanted to be different?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/30/2005 06:34:05 AM
The infrared really adds to the desolation feel. Nice job. 8
