Like this …… very unusual, certainly a change from the subjects usually seen in IR images. Generally works very well for me and the toning of the digger adds an ever more surreal feel than with straight IR. Composition is spot on for me.
One small thing which does strike me (but in no way detracts from the image as-is) ….. I see a lighter tone patch around the joint in the middle of the arm and around the tail of the engine compartment (spots of sunlight perhaps?). The rest of the digger body is fairly evenly illuminated and slightly duller than these two patches. I like this look of different areas different levels of illumination. Would a little dodging on a couple of areas (front of the cab & side surface of the arm top joint perhaps) add a bit more variation in the tone range of the digger?
This would make a great subject for high contrast B&W as well.
Just my $0.02
Good image, Dave
