Land that time Forgot

Another from my foray into the steep learning curve that is IR photograpthy and this vision was born from a idea to make a prehistoric scene that I was viewing on a tour of this public garden
Shot taken in the county of Cornwall at Trebah Gardens and shows an area of bog garden with young Gunnera plants just starting to emerge, very strong facing sunlight seems to have got the exposure time right down with this one , but its all about learning the technic of IR
Note on this plant
Gunnera is one of the biggest and most spectacular, architectural, herbaceous plants, commonly thought of as 'giant rhubarb'. The plants need a lot of space because it is difficult to restrict their size. They look best standing as specimen plants in a damp bog garden, or beside a large pond where the reflections reveal the prickly undersides of the leaves.
History footnote about Trebah and its very small beach
On 1 June1944 a regiment of 7,500 men of the 29 US Infantry Division with their tanks, guns and transport embarked from Trebah Beach in ten 150 foot flat-bottomed landing craft. For five miserable days they battled through enormous seas to the Isle of Wight and then on to the D-Day assault landing on Omaha Beach in Normandy, where they suffered grievous casualties. A memorial at the bottom of the garden commemorates the courage of these brave young American soldiers

Not too Bad. There is something I like about it, Just not sure what it is.
