Oh man, I THOUGHT that was Murray Park! Nice use of IR. This is lovely - I think it should have been more highly rated!

I love IR photos. I really need to get me a filter so I can play around with it. Honestly not alot to the composition though.

Gorgeous! Well handled highlights and darks.

I really like this one! You should sell prints. This is one of those pictures that I catch myself staring at and day dreaming. Nice use of the black and white! 10

Wonderfully surreal!

Great perspective. It really looks like this is a gateway to the light. I like the dreamy quality as well. Bumping up!

Always an interesting effect.

Nice dreamlike quality to this picture. Forground a bit to dark for my liking.
All this just imo, obviously. Good luck!

Two towers in the background disturb what is otherwise a surreal fantasy. Wonderful entry nonetheless.

An image that doesn't need a title. Before I saw your title I was thinking exactly what it says. One thing though, I think a bit of fill flash to bring out some of the dark areas in the foreground would improve the image.

This image is so hauntingly beautiful it almost defies adequate description. Every dream should look this way, and heaven... well one can only hope.

This is lovely. But the magical moment is slightly disturbed by the bridge in this case. Usually doesn't happen this way, but this time, I would have loved to see this picture in front of the bridge. Stupendous light, lovely composition.

Oh how I love these infrared phots. They have such an ethereal quality to them. This one is just beautiful!

As Lucy stepped through the wardrobe, she found a magical land....


Very difficult shot, to catch the shadows and then the light like this. Great job!!
