Good black and white

That's the kind of stuff I've been getting, with a lot more of the latter two types when I'm trying for color.

At first glance, it seems you're underexposing a stop or so; I'd bump it up a bit.  The foliage should be bright white; a fully sunlit lawn shot in IR is not that different IMHO from a white beach or snowy field.

Also I suspect you're losing a fair bit of dynamic range going to high ISO, so that may be compressing the curve.  Take with a grain of salt, I've not opened these up in an editor so can't see the histogram.

My first suggestion is to look at the exposure and maybe tweak that with a little bit of curves adjustment to "pop" the images.  Then work on them from there.

Images are about emotion. Technical perfection is nice, but does not stand by itself.
