Ground cover
Got a shot of some ground cover while at a bird sanctuary outside Sacramento. It was originally in color and I converted it to B&W.

lots of interesting details here, and it looks like an IR shot (even though it's not).

Thanks, Warren. I thought it had a bunch of interesting items myself and that's why I took the shot. I raised the contrast and I messed with channel mixer in Photoshop. I wanted to see if I could get black, white, and the different shades of gray to all come out. If I could get a B&W to look like an IR shot, that would be cool.
Very nice indeed! I like the way you found those very strong diagonal elements - then the shapes in the leaf litter below add a lot of interest - keeps my eyes wandering over the image. You did a great job in the B&W conversion - the tones are beautiful.
Eric, I played around with your wonderful image in PS using the blending mode "overlay" effect with an opacity set at 75%. Gave an interesting IR effect.

Thanks, guys. Dan, I will try the overlay effect. I have researched on how to make B&W shots take on an IR effect but haven't been too successful. Need to try harder.
