Image converted to greyscale and a gentle cooling filter added. I'm a bit new at this so technical comments are appreciated...

Very elegant use of IR. Love the waterdrops glittering in the sun as well. Helen

I like your conversion alot.. It gives it a grainy film like effect that really enhances the droplets in high tones..and its a nice contrast to the soft blur in the background. Very effective focus..Nice image..~Irish

Paul, I like how the velvety leaves are "bejeweled" with the dew drops. The scene is so bright and uplifting...effective in greyscale. I'm not familiar with the filter you used...but I like the effect here. Your caption adds to the liking. Nice shot. MFC
