Unkempt II - IR by TwoPynts

"There once was a ragged old garden, The home of a nutty churchwarden. He'd puff on his pipe, Cry out, 'Oh what tripe!' While reading the Book he was holden." ~ me
More limmerics -- what has gotten into me? Lots of infrared leaves (for Egmont). Another look at the grounds of the Pinewood Estate seen first in my other Unkempt photograph. While I did do some Levels and Hue/Saturation adjustments, there was no swapping of the red and blue color chanels this time. I wanted to keep the frosty looking foliage and atomic sky. ------
Thanks for your fishy comments on my previous upload,

I really like what the IR filter does to the grass, like you said just like frost and icicles...now where are my snow shoes ? Nice composition and capture ! ~Cheers~ :o)
Hey, you're a poet and don't know it! Ahem, actually, the sentence, "The once was a ragged old garden, should be "This once was a ragged old garden," I know, picky, picky, picky. Other than that, another perfect infrared creation, what with the exquisite trees, manicured lawn, and sky, to behold!
This would be a blessing on a hot day. Please send some over.... Excellent. Aloha
You're on a roll with the limericks so don't stop now I love them and they make me chuckle. I like the frosty look of these trees and the sky looks interesting. Great shot.
Very well done. B-E-A-U-T-I--F-U-L.
Oh it's so cool! Reminds me of christmass, for unknown reason:))!
It doesn't look 'unkempt' to me...but rather beautifully ordered. Another beauty of a shot, Kortaloo. And I like that....'atomic sky'...Very fitting words for it. LOL at your limerick. That's very good!!!!-M :^)
Another gorgeous IR photography! The contrast between the light blue trees and the white clouds looks fantastic! Stunning!!!
top professional work. snow in the summertime.
Fantastic shot. Very great work:-)hugs sessan
Brilliant image, you have stirred memmories in me as well, I had just started a new job, in a maze of valves and pipping I mistakenly turned on an outdoor sprinkler system in -35* weather, we left our dismall uderground crypt to emerge into a winter wonderland, with a fine coat of glassy beauty every tree, bush and blade of grass shimmered in the bright and crisp full moonlight, I felt like an accidental atrist at that moment, it was profound. thanks for your kind comments, your gallery is spectacular in quality and size I can see why you do what you do for a living. "home dome" immediately brought to mind a future or past world where under water is the only place our 90% water bodies can hide from hungry aliens.
WOW! Snow in September! We had an early snot last year, October 13th as I remember! Lots of trees damaged. I don't think these trees will be hurt at all though!
Beautiful...
Cool, almost looks crystaline.
Splendid image.
The IR effect gives a dreamlike feeling ... Wonderful shot !
Looks like winter has already knock at your door ;) Great IR!
WOOOOW! This is amazing. At first I thought.... naaa it cant be...then I had to read your note :))) Really brilliant work. I almost got fooled :)
A beautiful snowy looking scene. Like a fairy garden.
Truly awesome capture! Would fit very well in a fantasy/fairy themed image!
L love your limerick! It shows signs of gaiety .. sorta like "if you are happy and you know it, clap your hands" lol Great photo and manipulations! I love it!
Love your IR work !!!!!!!!
Its Relaxing...
The pattern that the path and the the trees make here is very wonderful to see. I have really enjoyed catching up on your gallery today - always a delight to view!
