They all have something to add. I think the B&W - the fountain in the middle with the statues looks the best. For the Infrared the tree and its leaves and are the best and look interesting. The color the grass looks the best - but its not an unusual color shot that I can see except its striking when viewed next to the others.

Great experiment which turned out quite well. Blew my mind to begin with. Thought my trifocals had gone whompy jawed.

Excellence Bill I like the results very much, I did an IR technique in CS3 before I upgraded to 4, I gave a link too to a great video tut for the system :) Here's the image if you have a mind to have a gander :) http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1769573

Nice experiment! For this particular image I'd go for b/w, adding a little more contrast... that's what I'd do, you don't have to... :D

I'm torn between the Monochrome and the IR..

well, for starters, the IR part is blah: the reason being not enough contrast. IR works best against a clear sky (cold) with warm leaves/buildings/people. The full color pane is tad ordinary - good camera work but uninspiring. The middle b&w shows contrast, and of course the interesting statuary. The eye always seeks out contrast early (first is overall brightness). Hey, not original with me. Learned that one from a prof. in grad school. Neat experiment.

I like what the IR effect does with the tree leaves. IR is fascinating to me. I like the color best for this particular image, because it gives the most interesting information. It might depend on what quality in the image you'd like to show off the most. The B&W seems flat to me - not enough reflections. Can you turn the fountain blue? LOL

Great. I like both the color and IR best.

Fine use of clipping masks. I like the color and infrared best of all. Black and white does best on its own. I wish I was in a situation where I was bored and had nothing to do. It's constantly warm and sunny during the day so I can't use that as an excuse to stay indoors.

Neat...!!!!

Well I'm impressd, Bill! I probably like the centre one best.

Nice work with PS..... Aloha

Good colouring Bill! Looks like you are having lots of fun!

I like it Bill!

Excellent results! I must try this some time! :)

That's quite a cool effect, my friend! Do you work in advertising? Lol! I'm leaning towards the centre one myself! Great work! Rob.

superb presentation and post work

Great show of post work prowess!!! Nice work Bill!

I actually like the b & w the best, but with the three together is kind of cool too. I have CS4 now, and just learning it. I barely made some files with it, and just got the "Classroom in a Book" to learn more. ;o) I hope I get somewhere with it!!

Very good post work here Bill! I'm not good with masks, so admire anyone who can hone that skill, especially with PS, which is not very user friendly! I have to agree that the center image has the greatest contrast and the eye seems to be drawn to that one.

It is hard to choose as they all look great but each in its different way. Lovely work and nicely presented.

if you are in doubt, choose the mainstream, Bill (lol) the b&w tells a lot! color would make it regular

hey this it really a creative one, Bill, love the idea and guess if I had to choose b&w would be my choice...smile

Ohhhh I'm definately drawn to the false IR on the right. Cool bit of experimenting youv'e done here! : )
