Excellent shot. I guess it never gets cold enough for frost down there but to me this gives a good idea of what it might be like.

Hi Bill, I always like your shots but, I've made no secret that I'm not a fan of IR at all. That being said, this one I like because it just gives me a giggle every time I see it. It looks like Florida and Minnesota smacked into each other and created a frigid place with palm trees. So, maybe I like it for the wrong reasons but, I can say "I like it". :o)

Nice one Bill. I do like the pale colours still in there. Alistair

This really is a great shot Bill.

Must be really weird living in a place with IR-lighthouses though. Apparently it's not good for the vegetation :-)

Great work Bill! I'm not really a fan of IR but you have nailed this shot.

Love it! Surreal, haunting, and so very pretty (pretty seems an understatement but I can't think of a better word here).

I don't even know what IR is (next lesson for me - something to look up). But I do like what it does for this shot.

Very nicely balanced composition, I think this would have been a strong shot with or without IR.

Bill as I have stated before I don't like some IR shoots. But this is fantastic.

Bill, you're living in a whole parallel universe : )

Wow, Bill, what an evocative image this is. The trees look like clouds that floated down from the sky. You are really getting the hang of that IR!
