[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 284381, member: 9240"] It's Infrared, Marcel, it's [I]not supposed to fit[/I]. ;) I could easily desaturate specific colors or go with pure B&W, but I really like how IR twists worlds around - dark is light, blue is yellow, etc. There are times I want to make beautiful landscapes, and others where I want the viewer to have to work to get it. I realize that not every, or even most viewers will, but that's OK because I was once there when I looked at my brother's work. When I start with an IR shot I know there are 3 or 4 different directions I can go with the color palate and if I don't have something specific in mind it's interesting to try several of them. These, for me at least, worked best going the way I did. It would have been easy to do a channel swap IR and eliminate the "cotton candy" look to get this far more familiar look...
