Beautiful landscape Jon.
Etherton, great perspective and symmetric composition.
Mike, seems like a match made in heaven. Such color !
Scho, very nice waterfall image. Nice details.

What's a full spectrum image ?
An image recorded on a sensor without a UV/IR blocking filter (hot mirror) so it records using all wavelengths from UV through the visible spectrum and Infrared combined. The orange color of the vegetation in your image is typical of a full spectrum image.

They're asking if it's a regular image using the full visible spectrum of light (standard sensor) or if the camera has been converter to Infrared. Because of the grass color and the lack of color in other areas, the image looks like a certain style of IR photography. (even though your particular shot just happened to turn out that way).

Close, but not quite correct. A full spectrum conversion records UV, visible, and infrared combined unless the user adds a selective filter (either on the lens or clipped to the sensor). You have the option to shoot pure visible by simply adding a hot mirror filter, infrared of various wavelengths with the appropriate filter, or pure ultraviolet with a narrowband filter that passes only UV to the sensor by blocking both visible and infrared spectra. The conversion is achieved by removing the manufacturer's filter pack containing the hot mirror (UV/IR cut filter) and also usually the low pass filter (for moire reduction eg. blur filter). For pure monochrome full spectrum the bayer filter array would also be removed.
