Hello all, this is a photo by Mike Schwarz that I have worked some processing on to come up with this result.  This is a challenge put forth by 

Contest on r72 - IR Post Processing May 2016  .  

I decided to see what I could do that would be an asset to such a beautiful photo.
I took this into Photoshop and applied a channel swap with blue and red, a process that I use quite a bit in my own ir photos.
I then experimented with hue and saturation to give the look I wanted. I used a bit of contrast to bring out the details better (which also added some noise in the sky but I feel that only added to the final piece.  I selected out the highlights on the blue channel and raised it to a new layer and using gaussian blur with screen mode to give a bit softer appearance. I finished this off with a bit of a vignette.
