That is a way cool shot, Dave! I'm not usually a big fan of IR, as I find most shots to be rather cliche (wispy, feather like leaves on a tree in a pasture and all), but this one really works. Of course, what really works is your tremendous composition: that winding road has so many undulations and twists, it seems to go on forever. Great choice of focal length (whatever it was). In this case, for reasons I can't articulate, the IR seems to enhance the photo, rather than become a veil between me and what I'm seeing (which is so often the case for me). It give the photo an ethereal effect that makes give it the feel of fantasy. Love it. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
