I believe I was using an Efke/Maco labelled film at that time.

Thanks! It's nice image no matter what film you used.

Thank You

It's a really nice image and a beautiful scene. It could just be my monitor (a TV rather than a real monitor), but compositionally, I find the black shadowed region of the pond on the left, too dark - or rather, too much of it is very dark. To me, it sets the image off balance a little because of its size. I wonder if could be given a bit more detail, perhaps not all of it, but to try and reduce the size of the fully black part of the shadow. I've never used IR film and perhaps this type of shadow is part of the look. Another option might be to crop the left hand side, but then you'd be left with a near square landscape and you'd lose the nice highlight in the pond shadow on the bottom left, which would be a shame and which I can see is an important part of the composition. All the best.

That's a really nice shot.
