| I'm a sucker for mountain shots. This is beautiful. I think it works well in IR. |

*Critique Club*
Hi, Russell here and this is my critique of your shot.
What I Liked - Just a really good overall landscape shot and fits the challenge perfectly. The light is falling perfectly and the overall immensity of the subject out-does the minor imperfections (to me anyway).I am not an infared shooter (though I am going to attempt it this summer) but after getting a self-taught lesson from the internet, I find that traditional infared turns the green a "hot" white, if there is enough light in the scene (of course there are other things also - but this seems to be the main draw) since yours has a bluish tint (and the clouds above) I am thinking that you didn't have "perfect" light for "perfect" infared. Honestly though, the tint is what MAKES the shot for me (combined with the absence of the tint- for the most part- in the light falling on the mountains)
What I didn't like - very little, which makes it difficult to critique. I can only see three issues - 1. the large sign on the road 2. the bridge support under the sign 3. the small piece of sky at the far left of the frame. To me, the road is a PART of the landscape, and does not really take away from the overall shot. The sign and support however (likely due to the black) tend to draw my eye away from the subject some.
Changes that might help - A small change of angle, moving forward and to the left a bit, MIGHT have put a tree in front of the sign and bridge support - cutting the dark distractions by 2, however, the tree on the left may also make the shot a bit unbalanced. That could also be corrected by zooming in the lens a bit. Since I was not there with you, I don't know if the terrain would have allowed for that, but if so, it would have gotten rid of the sign and support.
Overall - it is a great capture, had I spent 5-10 seconds looking at it (like most do during voting) I would not have even noticed the items I mentioned. Since I took longer to study the area and not just the subject, those items appeared. So, would I hang a print of this proudly in my living room - probably, since most people would not study it in detail and up close like I had to. |

| Congrats on your highest placement and new 4th-best! I must say I don't care for the coloring, but then I rarely see IR shots I really like. But the composition is nice, the scenery is gorgeous, of course, and the highway doesn't bother me at all. So you found your audience, got a high score, and should feel very good! :) |

| Breathtaking. Not sure I like the road cutting through the scene (and that probably couldn't be helped), but it's a great shot all the same. A seven for you. |

| Really nice shot here. I admire anyone that can consider an image that they can't see when they press the shutter release. Nice job. |
