Yesterday this car was parked on the road behind another car. Both had been smashed and with lots of damage on them. They both had Abandoned notices on them. This morning I went to photograph this golf course and noticed this car was missing until I found that during the night some hooligans had pushed it down the hill. It stopped against this tree....abandoned.

It seems that you intentionally chose a long exposure, which caused the leaves to go blurry because of the wind. It went a touch too long, as the rightmost tree steals viewer attention from the subject, which appears just a touch too small in the photograph.
Nice photo, Judi! Must have been windy, and I think that the blurred branches killed at least a point here. I really like how you preserved the blue sky in this IR shot.
Looking forward to seeing more from you!

I think the infared on this shot doesn't work quite as well, even though it is still an impressive photograph, the infared usually give me a feeling of fantasy surrealism that doesn't make me feel like I am in a desolate place. And the car looks too pretty to have been abandoned for long. But still an impressive photo, but for me not quite right in this challenge.
There seems to be some odd blurring in the trees - some leaves are in sharp focus, the others soft. And the composition is a little unbalanced. Still, I like the tones.
wowser. when i saw the thumbnail, i thought "here we go, another GORGEOUS ir image, but there's no way something of such beauty could convey any sense of desolation". got that wrong. this is incredible. the sense of scale, the colours... i love how some of the trees look slightly out of focus - was that intentional? i love where the car is (what is it, a cortina or granada). must buy myself an IR lens - this is so inspiring!
