Beautiful! The only thing that I don't care for is the gutter. It's kind of distracting. Keep up the good work!
Call me stupid but, what is IR? :-)

IR photography is using an infra-red filter which is sensitive to infrared light. i am using an IR converted D70, for more information on IR photography, maybe u can read this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_photography

i'm sorry for the overlook, i have now corrected the mistake.

The composition is excellent. I like the pose. I can't decide if I like the IR effect on this or not. It is different. I would have cloned out that drain guard.

[Loving It]

Ditto with the gutter. I love the IR effect - very nice & soft. I'm not sure if it is the IR or not, but her eyes look orange. I would adjust that a bit.

[WooD]

I like it, has a dreamy look to it.

I like it a lot, but there are some bits the processing has caused problems. Her eye has already been mentioned, and I think there are a few blue bits in the background that stand out from the beautiful tones of the rest of the foliage. The edges of her hair also seem a bit blue, in contrast to the rest of her hair.

thanks for the comments!

i will take note of the eyes when i am processing the rest of the IR photos. those blue bits on the back are the overexposed parts.. in normal photography, those areas will be white but in IR its in blue. as for her hair, its an overlook on my part as i forgot to processed the lower part of her hair..
