 oooh yeah. that feels good ;)

to give a few more details about the photo..

It's an IR shot taken at Montreal's botanical gardens (inside the Chinese gardens), a favourite place of mine to go, relax, and take some nice photos. For anyone living in Montreal or visiting anytime soon, the gardens (exterior) are free until mid-May, and given the early spring we had all flowers are in bloom, the ducks are out, and photographic opportunities are everywhere!

Lovely colour rendition. I like how it's not an overall sepia, but seems to be greyer/blacker in the dark tones.

Congratulations m8. You did a fine job with this capture. What I particually find interesting of the PP is how you split toned the shot. Pretty cool.

really like what you have done with the post processing it look really good., I would have taken some time to remove the leaves in the bottom right of frame.
 04/22/2010 09:06:47 PM
Wow!
 04/22/2010 03:13:56 PM
I marked this down because of the mixing of b&w and sepia, which I found unnecessary and clashing.
 04/21/2010 01:18:32 PM
very nicely done
