Hi rowla, this is me, mattias. I'v got a new id here. The old was damage.
Anyhow, W O W.
This is like the painting that deserves to hang in a gallery. The gray makes it almost "not real". But what a shot. Good work!

That's where my mind doesn't accept the black & white colors of nature. Nature that holds the color of our world becomes a view thru dogs' eyes. What was the color of that tree? How blue is the ocean? An Hasselblad or a Mamiya would probably show the right combination to contribute those colors into black&white ; but on digital it quite seems very insufficent. I love the view, I enjoyed how you pictured on the right place; but on this one I should say digital should keep stay digital mode for a while.

Amazing overall detail. I would prefer the grass on the ledge to be a little less exposed to see more detail, but overall this is top notch job.

Thank you! I am still longing for a 'real' IR filter but in the meantime I'll make do with my pseudo IR post-processing.
The trees along Alki are really cool. I stood in the street to get this one. The sky was very cooperative as well

excellent capture, man.

I really adore the IR effect on this. That glow and blur it gives it so parfect for this shot. Feels like that is the only tree for miles all around, has quite the surreal quality to it. +fav

Love the shape of that tree. I love that you made this a black and white. It really makes the tree 'pop' so much more. I think the colour would have been distracting. Great photo!

Thank you Deb! I posted the color version on my website; I do like the B&W one much better. The color one actually looks drab to me, after the contrasts of this one.
Glad you liked it

yes, that rocks! I compared it with the color version and I think the b/w one is better. especially the sky is much more moved

Yes, thank you very much! I agree. The color version is almost drab.

Nice composition and background - interesting how tree looks like shot on infrared film.

Thank you. The IR effect is post-processing in Photoshop; as I cannot yet afford a real IR filter. I feel guilty
I am glad that you enjoyed the photo

Full of mood and beauty

wow, they're right! The contrast is simply amazing. The preview had me thinking the black & white might not be right for the shot, but the full view really does the b&w justice.
