Thanks, Igor! You are right about the green in the 3rd image - it seems
to have a little bluish tint and is boosted a bit too much. I played
with the sliders to try to get better tonal separation between the algae
and the boat hull, since the algae was reflecting the overcast light and
appeared pretty gray. I tried pushing up the green to get it to stand
apart from the hull, but missed the background in doing that.

Mark,
I totally agree with Attila that the first image is the best.
And indeed, it looks like snow.
It also gives an interesting blueish tone to the road.
I like this photo a lot!
The green in the background of the 3rd image seems a bit unnatural to me,
especially in contrast to the green on the side and that in the 4th
image.
It looks like you boosted something in the image (such as "Vibrance"
in LR) that resulted in this somewhat strange green.
Cheers,
Igor

Something for everyone - color infrared, mono infrared, and straight
color
shots with the K3.
A few technical comments beyond what I wanted to put in my blog:
The first shot is color IR because otherwise the leaves of the tree
and the
overcast sky virtually blend together. The color gives much better tonal
separation.
I took the second shot in both IR and color (K10D and K3). Invisible
in the
IR shot but distracting in the color shot is a good bit of dead
foliage in
the foreground. So instead of getting a nice green frame around the
sunken
boat there is a distracting green and brown mess of foliage. The IR shot
rendered as mono worked best.
This was the only loation where I used the Takumar F 70-200 and that
was to
get frame filling shot of the shipwreck out in the bay. The lens is
wickedly
sharp and the detail in the old hulk of a boat is interesting at actual
pixels since you can see a lot of detail - but a smaller image
showing just
the wreck out in the water without context is not interesting so it
didn't
get posted. At the end of the day I could have lived without any lens
longer
than 70mm.
The third shot was probably the most technically challenging in that
there
was a persistent glare off the wood hull of the sunken boat and the
algae
around it. I was glad I packed a polarizing filter. With the
polarizer and a
little post exposure processing things came out OK.
Thanks for looking and comments appreciated.
