Just an infrared conversion. C&C always welcome!

I like it. Normally the centered subject is difficult to work with.

In this case it adds scale and depth.

Nice shot. Great use of the foam leading in.

The sky looks a little unnatural though, did you gaussian blur it?

Thanks guys,
Jacob: I didn't use any blur but I had to darken the sky due to parts of the sky being blown out and creating weird halos in the conversion.

good shot; maybe even better if you eliminate or reduce the logo, imo.

cool shot
I like the IR here.
The centering works for me as well; the sense of scale is excellent.
Sky has significant banding, at least in this jpeg.

Thanks Scott. I'll have to burn the sky tonight to get rid of the banding before I print it.

Spectacular shot indeed.
The banding in the sky is a bit noticeable, not even sure how to go about fixing it

Assuming you have Photoshop or something comparable, you can fix that banding by doing something like...

Select Sky
Add Noise ~ 10%
Gaussian Blur ~ 150 px
Add Noise ~ 1%

It might take a little playing with the numbers to get it just right. After that you can burn or add vignette, etc.
