Reminds me of the old crystal growing kits from the mid 90's. Gorgeous picture as well.

How do you do the subtle blue color tones? When I take color IR, it's red not blue. You do a color shift?

Yes, sometimes I swap the channels and shift the hue. I find it takes some experimenting for each digital IR shot, as a set process doesn't consistently produce good results...

I love how the only thing that doesn't seem to be distorted is the "door" just left and slightly down from the center. With the rest of the shot distorted, it looks like some odd inter-dimensional gateway.

This is gorgeous - puts me in mind of some of the first colored photographs (from the French, I believe) from World War I.
