Baglan fence

Baglan fence

At Baglan playing fields on a fine summer's afternoon, the fence was photographed as it stood at the time with no interference from me.
The tree shots I took on this day tought me a lesson, "Do not use a polarising filter on a superwide angle lens (28mm and shorter) on 35mm film".
The reason for this is that a these filters will only darken the blue sky when the camera is directed at a certain angle away from the sun, a wide angle lens includes a considerable area of sky and includes the areas that don't polarize well, so you get a very uneven tone across the sky.
This is visible in this photo and in two others I will post shortly.

Always like the surreal effect of Infra red. This is well done.
My eye is taken to the top left toward the slightly leaning lamp standard but there does not seem to be point of interest there.
Just a personal opinion.

The trees look somewhat like billowing smoke-stacks in the thumbnail, very cool IR effect. The tones of the sky are pretty interesting as well.
 
Thanks for you'r comments Fleath and winger, kind of you to take the time to give you'r advice.
