Thanks for commenting, TomD, Rod and Phillipe. TomD, as I've said before in these Challenges, when I came to CO, I walked around looking up saying, "Wow, look at that!!", still do. These turned into a massive storm/thunderhead that moved out over Kansas. Cheers, -mikey

Nice B&W, how lucky you are to have those great clouds to work with.

I didn't see the first version but this does seem to work well. The B&W looks terrific with really nice tones especially in the sky. Well done mate:-)

Cropped a little off the top and the bottom. Thanks, Tom. -mikey

Thanks, Tom. I LOVE this look. I'm thinking about getting a dedicated infrared camera made up from a D60. Gotta save some cash, tho. I'll see what a crop of that sky looks like when I have a few more minutes to give to it. I guess I was just kind of rolling 'round in the look of it ":^) Thanks again, -mikey

Terrific. I love the red filter effect, just like the old film days.. or maybe better. IMHO a bit too much blank sky above the clouds. -tv
