This is a true IR photo, taken with the Hoya RM72. If you look closely at the photo, you can see that it is raining behind over the river (background - behind the trees), while the sun is shining over the tops of the trees from the left. This was a great site to witness, and I was lucky enough to be doing IR at the time.

Amazing! One of those pictures you could sell for sure. Great depth to this picture. Top marks on this one, only thing I would change is to take that person out of it (basic challenge can't to but if you were selling it)!
I love the black and white giving a very threatening look to the sky. Good lighting of the snowy trees along the right hand side. Looks like a tough shot with the snow and shadows.
Not so sure it fits the challenge but it's nicely captured. B&W was a good choice. Very good overall composition. Two trees in the foreground are a bit of a distraction, but not that much. If you were to edit for a print, I might clone out the right one ... but that's just an opinion. It conveys a nice emotional impact ... makes me want to put on a coat and go walking out there.
Fascinating lighting. Is this really bizarre nature though, it looks pretty processed. I don't like the trees in the fortfront, very distracting. Otherwise a great pic
