Mark,

I think this one is the most successful of the IR shots:

But then again, maybe I am biased, since Maco 820 is my favourite IR film.

This would be a very nice shot except for the placement of the horizon 
midway in the frame. I think you would have been better off point the 
lens down to reduce the amount of sky. I realise that compositional 
rules (in this case, the rule of thirds) are not laws of physics and may 
be broken when there is a good reason to break them, but in this case I 
find that you would have been better off obeying it.
