Pretty cool. Not only is the IR treatment surreal, but the juxtaposition of the trees/meadow with the massive concrete structure makes it an interesting shot.

I was waiting for the leaves to come out when I first got an IR filter to try with my S2, then I got distracted by the kid's baseball season. So, here it is July and I still haven't played around with IR landscapes!

This cool shot certainly inspires me to get out there and try!

I like the swath of trees across the frame. I'd sort of like to see more of the steam plume, but I know that would also include more 'dead' sky. I'm interested in the exposure information - ISO, aperture and shutter.

Powerful image. I love the contrast between peace and destruction.

Excellent IR image, Danny. This scene conveys (to me) the message that "man" and the enviornment are connected and shows the tension which exists in this relationship. :wavey:
