### Self Critique

The mood! Perhaps a little too much fog but I’ll take it !!

### Creative direction

Shot in IR to see what more can IR “see”

### Specific Feedback

Open to other creative suggestions or technical suggestion - eg, increasing contrast on the battleship ?

### Technical Details

IR, handheld in live view ( to get a shaper image )  
Did do channel swapping - doubt it would have mattered otherwise since there was no visible blue sky at all

### Description

Took my IR converted D4s to work since I envisioned this possibility after I finished - just as well!

Battleship Cove in Fall River - never disappoints for a foreground!

A very fine image. Love that it is in IR. Mood: not too much fog for me. Maybe a bit bright at the top.
