Matt, this is an example of digital IR?  Very nice images.  I am impressed.
If I didn't know these were digital, I couldn't tell.

The only critique I have of the images is that there seems to be a lack of
black in the images.  It seems to me that the tones in the images area bit
compressed (perhaps zone 4 - 8).  I would like to see more black.

In spite of  this one thing, the images are very good.
