These are from one week ago with no winter in sight.
But now it looks like we get some snow the upcoming week.
Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome.

I love both of these, Chris.
Terrific subject, great comp, processing, etc.
And the follow-up image adds a lot.
I had to re-read the title to make sure it WAS IR .
(That's my favorite kind of IR .)

Beautifully done, Chris, I particularly like # 1 with the trees on the left side.

Thank you Charlie.
The sensor of modern cameras block a lot of infrared light.
So if I screw my IR filter on I get a mild effect. Not a bad thing I think.

Thank you Steven.
I couldn't get any closer and felt to make those trees an element of the image.

great shooting, Chris.
my favorite is number 1, as it is so well balanced. and the IR works well here.

Really like these Chris. Processing is perfect. First one's my favorite.

Manny thanks Greg.

I guess I'm the odd one out on this... while I like the context that the first picture gives with the trees, I really like the focus on the windmill and the reflection that comes with the vertical frame. The first pictures seems kind of passive & bucolic, while the second picture is much stronger and says, "I'm here to work...let's have some wind..." Plus, I think that the gray of the trees on the left simply adds to the overall gray of the image, while the second image is a much more balanced use of the full gray scale.

Thank you Wes for your in depth thoughts.
I think the composition works well in the first one.
And I do like the second a lot. Maybe because of the reasons you just mentioned.
