 Ok this one was taken with a Hoya 72 and it was one windy day!

The motion blur of the trees is more apparent on the b/w version

The composition really draws you in.
yeah, the red such - maybe should have gone for a deep purple, or maybe florescent yellow. (jk)

I also prefer the BW version. I bet if you had done another white balance, you could have gotten a more brownish red color, instead of bright red. Might try playing with white balance as the month goes along. It can be fun to change WB using the grass, or a white card. can give different looks that work in different situations.

I'm with Karen that the straight red usually doesn't do it for me with IR. I do like this shot though and VW adds such a story. I, too, would be interested in seeing this converted to B&W.

I personally don't care much for the straight-up red look for a finished IR image, especially since to me at least all that color seems to trick my eye into not seeing some of the possibly interesting detail - would be interested to see what a simple b/w conversion would do for this. I do like this composition, though, especially with the graphical impact of the different tones of road/grass curving off to the left and right, and the almost afterthought-like placement of the VW bus.

Also with side challenges, there is no limit on image size, so feel free to go wild and post larger sizes if you want to - I personally like limiting my longest side to 820.
