Infrared Hoya R72 used with Canon G2 and tripod. Converted to black and white using lab color and then grayscale. Levels, curves, neatimage and unsharp mask a couple of times.

I do like the effect of an IR filter on trees. I think your processng here is a bit blunt - the leaves have become quite blotchy, quite blocky: I wonder if you may have pushed the contrast too far overall - so that you've lost some of the ddetail of graduation of tone, and gone too far towards white and black.
"Waldo" is a little hard to find because of the dark area, but I like the effect you achieved on the leaves on the left. You could have tried to keep the photo straight though...
Pretty lanscape, I would like to know if you used an IR filter or if you created this photoshop if so how?
Though the scenery is well there are a lot of things wrong here, for one thing it looks as if you took this picture just for the landscape and not so it could meet the challenge. The horizon is too tilted and I think maybe having a better angle would have been better, for exemple seeing more of the house and making Waldo blend better into the trees.
