"Nestled on lakeside A peaceful shelter beckons Reeds whisper softly" ~ Haiku by me
"Okaeri Nasai" is Japanese for welcome home. For those interested, here is my basic methodology for postworking an infrared photograph. I open the file in Photoshop and first I use Auto Levels, then fade it a bit if necessary. I minimize the hot spot as much as possible using a series of circular feathered selections and levels adjustments.

'nother good one Kort :o) Huggies
OK... I like this one the MOST! (I will likely say that again...lol) So neat! Thanks for the info on postwork. :0)
Looks like a moonlit enchanted place! Welcome home is a wonderful title. Great Haiku, we're having a spring challenge in the writers forum, stop by and add one. BJ
Gorgeous, gorgeous shot. I love the compo you've chosen. I'm sure y'll know by now I love the out of the ordinary. You've got the exposure perfect. Fantastic work.
Yet another great shot Kort. Also, thanks for the heads up on the Photoshop methodology... a very sound workflow my friend.
I think this is awesome, I love your small tutorial!

Oh I just love this one, Kortalouche. It's really beautiful! The compo on this is wonderful and the IR treatment really brought that out perfectly. I think I like this one best of all your IR images. Congrats and excellent done!-M :^)
