Challenge: Best of 2011 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G10
Location: Bird Sanctuary near Montrose Harbor, Chicago, IL
Date: Nov 12, 2011
Aperture: 4.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1
Date Uploaded: Feb 2, 2012

 Infrared shot at a bird sanctuary in Chicago, near Montrose Harbor. There happened to be a hiker coming through, but walked in such a way that he was captured by the long exposure. There weren't many adjustments to this: sharpness, white balance, noise reduction, and levels. I didn't swap the red and blue channels, because I liked this look better.

Very interesting PP, I'm not sure about the purple tones. Would of loved this all in sepia, but I'm not you.

A tree composed entirely of snowflake butterflies. Oh how delightful. I can't decide about the odd colors and yet, it somehow adds to the magic.

if there was someway to make the person larger, they seem to almost get lost in the scenery.

This has a very ethereal feel to it, quite beautiful really; I like the single figure and the title is super. I'd have removed those specks from the top left corner but otherwise, this is very pretty and I wouldn't be surprised if posthumous hangs it in his 'fantasy gallery'.

Nice, I have a feeling I personally would have liked this image better if it was "just" black and white and not IR, but it´s still very nice, gave it a 7.
