Steve - only in my special pasta sauce!!
'Interesting' - a non-committal phrase, if I ever heard one!
we were surprised (pleasantly) by all the places/sites to shoot in Santa Fe. a museum building!!

The solarized shadows are working for me, and has a nice stylised feel that could work in any number of commercial applications, magazine advertisement, album cover, billboard etc..
I think you may have the next ipod commercial gimmick on your hands here Tom Just imagine the black silhouette with the white ear buds walking through your solar world
I'm not a fan of this technique but I do like this image probably the most in relation to all of the others you have posted.
Forget it ! it's over , I commented a while back on one of these shots you're punishing everyone with . I hate , hate , hate , solarized images , but I've bitten my tongue and let you get it out of your system . I beg you please stop now ! you've already gone too far and the only thing you can do to redeem yourself is to go back and now present those shots , some of which showed great promise if it wasn't for the abuse you inflicted upon them , in a proper manner . Please take this as a seriously lighthearted rant . Not one more O.K..........

Well, I didn't intend that to be a back-handed compliment actually. I know that there are those who think of B/W as hallowed ground never to be trod upon with post processing other than to dodge or burn, but personally I've never been overly bothered with that hangup.
It's a great big world out there and there is a time and place for everything...and I would be proud to have my work on an album cover somewhere (at least the nice big old vinyl album type) or displayed in a magazine ad viewed by many.
I like this one. Maybe, if you feel like it, you could show the pre-solarized version too to satisfy the 'traditionalists'.
Duncan - thanks for looking again and providing a supporting comment; the foreground tree shadow is what works for me . . . maybe there is hope for me (?)

Another very interesting solar/IR rendering. I remember this place well in Santa Fe.
