Beautiful, Bill!! I'm so glad you posted an infrared! Thanks for your comments and encouragement on my efforts. How are you dealing with the noise in your IR photos? Sometimes NeatImage just washes out the details along with the noise in mine. So, I'm using a combination of NeatImage and Craig's Actions Shadow Soft B&W. #1492229
