Hi, I like the tonalities in this shot. Probably looks great big.

(except you have to wake up earlier to beat the guy that left the footprints)

Very nice desert landscape Eric. That little "oasis" really makes the composition for me.

Other than the plants in the Oasis, how can one tell that this is IR? Most scenes are obvious, but others like this, it's not so apparent.

Nitpicks: I feel the horizon is sideways, and I like the composition, except I feel there's too much foreground to the oasis, ripples and footprints: The bottom and right part are not crutial to the composition.

Usually IR looks just like monochrome B&W. If you do the false color then you get a B&W image with blue skies and the foliage is white usually..
