    Hi Matt

    The last two work really well for me. Are they IR shots?

    Interesting shots Matt -- the last three are OK -- when the saw the third from the last, I thought, at last something is in focus. The first two are just blurred. Now I understand why...thanks for sharing.

    Excellent set of images.... i like the oily look of images; it gives a 'Cinderella: here to come' feeling

    IR doesn't usually do anything for me but I really like what you have done with these. You have accomplished something of a fantasy feel to the images.

    Love the uniqueness of these photos!! Absolutely love the last 3 photos (the arching over one makes me feel like I am in a story book) Can I ask what lens you used to capture the last 3 photos?

    Always liked IR and I like these as well. I still have six rolls of 35mm IR that someday I will shoot, process and print. I was pleasantly surprised at how well an IR translated to platinum/palladium printing, something else I'll have to try. Oh. so much to do, but hey, I'm retired, now I have the time.

    Good concept, Matt. I have often admired the shapes of trees and wondered how I could capture them. Very well done.

    That's a really good series Matt. The IR and PP are well done.
