This is for IR folks. It was shot on a DMC-G1 converted by LifePixel to “full spectrum” (kinda). There are ways to post-process this kind of shot - all are welcome. Here’s my crappy try. I’m sure you can do better with the RW2!

Nice sky, Thomas - and really classic foliage “IR” colors!
I have no clue about IR photography and this is probably not the usual style for such pics. Anyway I made an edit:
Interesting, with everything almost back to their “proper” colors.
In IR work, the popular method in post-processing is to make foliage that is reflecting IR (due to chlorophyll content) close to white and let the other scene colors fall where they may.
Others favor the Kodak “Aerochrome” look with the vegetation usually red.
Well, these are the colours RawThrapee sees from your RAW file. Martian landscape?
btw … is this your finger in the upper left corner?
Yep. that it is …
Nice job and goodbye finger.
Nice cloud tints and dirt colors.
Cool pano-esque look, and that’s close to how the street looks to the eye from that shooting position.
On a general note to all players, faux colors are both acceptable and often used by IR/full spectrum folks, so there is no need to revert to nature in this thread, although turning the brown sky to blue is quite usual.

Thanks to @Thomas_Do from whom I copied the channel mixer settings whose usefulness I had understood, but which I wasn’t able to adjust at best.
Both good!

Gave it a shot…here’s the results of a standard scene referred workflow, modules left to right.
Focused mainly on color adjustments and tone eq. I’ve never worked with an IR photo before so I was concerned I’d blow the coloring too much, so I completely reversed my standard global color adjustments. Negative vibrance, and then a high positive chroma, and moderately high saturation. After that it was a crop, and contrast eq adjustments. Near the end I went back to the color eq to adjust the red tint purity and strength.
Cool shot, now I want to go and try it…just need a sacrificial camera…

A nice other-worldly look, Adam.
Yes, with a converted camera, IR people even swap channels in a three-channel mixer and start from there. I forget which ones but probably someone here knows, eh?
Swap red and blue I believe.
