Egret in infrared [View all]

I found this from my last trip to the coast. It was taken with my camera converted to IR. 730nm as I recall which brings in some color and allows experimentation with channel swapping of colors. This is basically straight except for contrast and some noise cleanup.

I find it sort of interesting in an odd way.
