The Lion Sleeps (in IR)

Thanks, Sharon. I am running into some workflow problems in that ACR can't handle the custom white balance used in the photos. I tinkered with some other software that I had on disk, but when I used it to convert to PSD it only used 8 bits. I will have to put some thought into overhauling my processes now, and am debating between doing something different jsut for the IR stuff, or just breaking in a different set of software for all images.

I like the feel of this, both the quality of the toning and the bokeh. It might tend a little too much toward pink, especially since it is so close to a sepia tone already. And I realize that he is sleeping on a car roof but I think if you cloned out or darkened the window in the lower left it wouldn't be so distracting. A lovely shot, nonetheless! ~Sharon
