Description I submitted this under Darkroom, and not my usuall conceptual just because i added the texture effect to the photograph.
Other than that, there is no manipulation.
I felt it gives the picture the same effect i love so much on the canvas print.
It adds some depth and character to the piece (tho i love it without it as well).

Infra red shot (Hoya R72) on Nikon 8800.
4 seconnds exposure.

I feel this one is very strong in mood and expression, what i really love about this piece.
I hope you would agree.

I do agree, and the lighting is absolutely wonderful. I don't know how you do it. But then, I'm not a photographer so I suppose I wouldn't know.

I agree with what you've said..
while it looks cold and lonely, perhaps, there is still a warmth and strength to it, and that is great.

outstanding...I especially like the colours

I love IR too after seeing your photos...they're fantastic.the only problem is...I don't have a professional camera, nor an IR filter I hope I'll own one of each as quickly as possible

That IR certainly does add a lot. I couldn't help but notice the texture to it too. I need to buy a good camera and try some experimenting.

Unfortunately I can't see this in full view which is a shame because I just can't wait!

I can see the softness of the background against the detail of the tree. I really like it. I wish I was able to see it in full zoom (it's not working ^kicks DA^).

For right now.. all I can say is that I like the pearly white.. and the combo of soft and harsh. Like a dream..

this one is really nice,
did u shot this using the infra red filter right?
well, i have one now it's the same like yours but i really dont know how to use it,
when i captured an image its only red colour all over the image, but how come your picture is not in red colour? did u change the colour in PS?
