Converted to BW via channel mixer, oversaturating the red channel to bring out the IR feel. Cropped and spot edited out a little flare and some vignetting in the upper right corner. Light USM and resize/save for web.

This has all the makings for a really great shot, but the processing is a distraction for me. There are remnants visible on the edges of many objects and the sky (while unique and pretty cool) has a very odd shape to the darkness that is obviously intentional, but I'm not convinced works entirely. I really like the focus and overall composition though, and it's very high contrast.
The IR look certainly produces a strong High Contrast look IMHO. Very nice. I think the composition would have been stronger if the sun/moon had fallen on the intersecting lines of the top right thirds.
