 One of the big constraints I find is getting the sun equally over all or most of the image. Where clouds mask areas you get more than 1 stop dip in white dinginess. You can see this to the left side of the image of Kirkham Crossing (above).  Whilst a bit of tonal variation can add interest, it can make areas look..... dirty.  I often choose to dodge these areas to lift them a bit whiter. I was a bit lazy on these shots and let them be. lol

Incidentally....put your coloured IR shots into PS and into Adjustment> BW (as mentioned earlier) and you will get interesting and discrete adjustments with different colours, because although it looks BW, the underlying colours are still there and respond differently to the filter sliders.

So for example a bluish hotspot area can be selectively changed (dark or light) using the blue slider. Blue skies can be blackened.
