So oder so - ich finde dieses ein wunderschönes, bischen nachdenkliches, fast schon postkartenreifes photo!

Oops, I just saw that I didn't leave my obligatory post-challenge comment to this photo... Well, to be honest I was a bit disappointed by the score. I thought it would do better in this challenge.
I put some effort into it. I did the shooting on two days test different lighting conditions by different positions of the sun. Postprocessing was difficult, because heavy changes to the contrast/levels etc. would increase the grain from the long exposure time.
Some people complained about the big border. That was inspired by Remie who sometimes uses big borders, too. First I didn't like bigger borders (or borders for that matter) but then I somehow thought it would fit. When you go to a exhibition, photos are often displayed in white mats/passepartout which give the photo a proper and clean surrounding. That's what I wanted to imitate here.
On to some direct responses:
@tyrkinn+vjoz: You're right, the contrast between the ruins and the sky is low but I wanted an overall dark theme. The challenge was "desolation" and the subject are ruins, I think it's clear why I didn't want a stark black&white contrast.
@amsmyth+tomc: That way the most helpful hint. The infrared light made the bushes and trees so white. I didn't see it when submitting but now I agree that this does not fit. I think it's distracting and lightens the image too much.
@'Pong+Fayech: It's not processed very much. The effect comes from the infrared filter and is not some digital effect.
@tarique: I admit that I used the infrared filter just for fun. I thought it would give the lighting a more ghostly/out-of-this-world feel. But it seems that didn't work out.
@ceovishy: No I can't share the non-negativised version of the photo because it isn't negativised (I think you mean "inverted").
Anyway. Thanks to everybody for your feedback. As always it was very helpful. |

| nice idea, but the effect used (infrared?) does not add to the image. |

good shot
though I think that the foreground is fadin pretty much to the background...
more lightning could have fixed this but as this is an outdoors shot you could use a lot of patience to get the light right...
Good luck in challenge

| for me the amount of white (leaves lower right) detracts and I wonder why the whole image is so dark |

| The subject (ruins) almost disappear in the sky. Maybe channel mixer in PS could have done better to bring some contrast between the ruins and the sky. Looks spooky |

| Really nice picture, but I think the huge, light-colored border hurts it. |
