This sky was awesome and I did very little other than swap the blue and red channels. I like the contrast between the sharp palm leaves and the fluffy clouds.

A different take on Disney

This was a grab shot. What I like about it is the false color pattern in the people and palm tree contrasting with the sky and the desaturated buildings. It's not your typical Disney shot or your typical IR shot. Does it work?
