The horizon is very close to the center, weakening the composition. My suggestion would be to crop the foreground almost up to the first line of trees. This would give the sky much greater weight and strengthen the whole. This would also give the photo a panorama type look which I feel would look good. A 16X10 aspect ratio can be quite nice.

Thanks, you're correct with you observation. This was part of my first infrared shots on a Mamiya 7ii 6x7 medium format, so I tended to want to use all of it to show the mild infrared effect, and forgot all about the composition ;) Cheers and welcome to the site.

Love it. I have some infrared film loaded right now and a very cheap R72 filter. Supposed to be a 4 stop loss, but this one looks darker than that. Hope to pull off an effect like you have here.. T.
