Truly enjoying your IR work Jim. At the moment, and since having  
instant access to IR capability with the M8, I'm finding that these  
IR images look more 'normal' to me than straight panchromatic  
renderings.

Not sure what's going on with my b&w sensibility in this regard.  
Aging eyes?

My loving partner does not "get it."

Do you have many non photographers looking at this work?
What's there reaction?
