A weird one this, not so sure about it. Taken on Kodak B&W Infra Red film and home developed. Its got a milkyness to it which is quite attractive but some of the highlights are just a bit too blown. Still, there is something about it which keeps drawing me in. This is the 'Chinese Garden' in Avenham Park, Preston, Lancashire.

It's strange, indeed. It seems too contrasted. But, on the other hand, we more mid-tones, it would be a common picture. As is, it seems an image from those films of the 1920's, particularly mystery ones.

The picture is really effective, and beautiful indeed. It could be considered a pictoralist style... without this beeing a negative comment at all.

Most unusual, as you say it has a unique quality, it looks old and attractive without being perfect. (?)

Fabulous infrared image. I love the feeling of other worldliness (is that a word?).

Personally, I like it. The infared is a great idea and the milky tones you talk about really make this shot cool. Very nice :)

This is fantastic, it has a surreal feel to it, great stuff.

the beauty of surreal effect you created here took my breath away, the concept of being vintage in a mystical way appeal to me, well done.
