Only because of the ethereal nature of this image is why I posted it. Otherwise, I tend to be a critic of infrared photography which, I believe, has been overly done. In many IR works all I see is the technique and not the art. However, infrared images, especially of inanimate objects, can work quite well. Light tends to soften creating, sometimes, a surreal effect. This is another image from Stanford University's Cactus Garden.
