Infrared Weeping Japanese Winter

I made this image of my favorite Weeping Japanese Maple in infrared. I then used the channel mixer to swap the red and blue channels to convert the normally red-brown sky to blue. Thanks for your comments.

I'm not usually fond of infrared, but I really like this! Great lines in that tree. Is this the same tree that you won 1st place for in the flora gallery for '06?? Congrats by the way!!!

This is the coolest tree, I really like the swap back to blue here, and the comp is fantastic. Congrats on your 2006 EP award, very well deserved.

Steve, I like this even more than the one that won the EP 2006 award! The infrared really enhances this image.

Boy this one really popped out of its thumbnail. What a fantastic treatment. I think this is the best infrared image I've seen in ever so long. Love, love how well it shows the tree's structure. And i really like the blue hues in there, too. It's quite inspiring. May have to try some infrared one of these days. Very cool.
