This is very effective. It is the upturned barrow that really makes it

Generally speaking I don't like IR or so I thought, but Iv'e come to realise that is probably because most IR shots you see all look the same however most posted here are a cut above.

Same as any shots really I suppose IR or not, still needs to be well observed etc

I understand why you say that, Simon. Most IR photos I see posted online are very cluttered with trees, foliage, grass etc. so all you really see is a mass of amorphous white with no strong focal point.

I am not a big IR fan but I very much like this image. So simple but so effective.

Not speaking for Steven, but I do think that IR works when a straight black and white image does not, maybe he looked at the scene and thought the very same thing, hence out with the IR, nice to have that choice.

I once shot loads of colour IR film and actually it is pretty hard to get anything meaningful. In fact the best shots were of my friends just mucking about in IR it was absolutely hilarious.

Very true, Martin. I did have my other camera with me, but instinctively I chose to use the IR converted cam. There was a lot of thick grass and bright sunlight plus I liked the way the two fences broke up the scene.
