Shot with a Cokin P007. Still working on the processing. I set the white balance to the grass with the filter on. When I opened the RAW file I couldn't match the color of the jpeg. So this is a jpeg processed image. I haven't got the processing down so any tips would be very appreciated.
This is the original.

Excellent title, and I think it's fine in B&W - don't really want to see it in color, actually. I'm amazed by the deep DOF - all so crisp and clean. And for infared, I quite like it. (I may have to give up on my dislike of infared. Folks like you are doing good things with it.)

I really like the b&w treatment, maybe punch the contrast a bit or dodge teh white foliage a bit brighter would be my only suggestion. I did a quick color swap on this as well Used Auto Levels, then channel swapped. I then used a hue/sat layer and took red and magenta to 0 saturation. I also used a Hue/sat layer to change the hue of the blue to a bit deeper blue. Dodged the grass a bit whiter and then did a bit of USM for contrast and Neat image for noise.Could be much better if I spent some time but you get the idea.

This was a really quick and dirty color swap:
auto color
channel mixer - swap red and blue
curves - white pick on cloud

If you notice, you can see in the color version where the light leaked in.

But, I love the b&w conversion you did. the scene is beautiful and you composed very well for the subject. Very well taken...
