Default Infrared + Dramatic light = Good Portrait?

Hi All,

I like this picture a lot so I thought of sharing it with you..

This picture is actually taken in my friend's car while my wife was looking through the window after a long party.

I loved the light falling on her face from the street lights, but due to the fact that the lights are all orange, I thought of turning the whole picture into infra-red effect.

Hope you like it

Its very grainy, but I think this helps to set the mood of the image. Well done. Love it.

Very nice, very evocative. A nice pensive portrait. The only important question is, does your wife like it?

Yes she does...

And it's meant to be Grainy (to answer shellie) because of the mood and filter.

I was about to delete this but you know what? NEVER, try a different filter or colors and you might be surprised!

Very good! I'm just learning to appreciate graininess - I really like the mood of this image.

It is a cool effect as well as the graininess of the image
