The ceremony you witnessed was amazing and to capture it had to be a highlight in your photography work.
I offer an alternate rendering with rationale from my minds eye...with a dark composition and a narrow beam of light my eye follows the beam to the window and out of the frame. I need something that draws me back into the picture and that I felt is more light.
I started with the color original and used Nik Color Efex Detail Extractor and Neutral preset in Silver Efex, I added a touch of color tone for interest.

The lighting, the outline of the petals, the tone variation are perfect

Super action shot of men on their Bikes, in the dirt, going fast.
I tried a square crop that puts the rider squarely in the frame center...

This is an amazing creation. The large drops and the numerous small sizes give your eye plenty to examine, and the leaf edges act as leading lines.
Stunning photograph

I have looked at High Key off and on when I use Silver Efex and never choose that tonality. I feel your rendering is perfect. Your tulip has a heavenly feel to it.
Print it

Wonderful rustic table and chair scene. I think we all would enjoy an evening there with a little wince and cheese.
Israel's idea was spot on and naturally I thought I would add another small update. I did a select subject in LR Classic and pushed up the exposure until the red splotches started to appear signaling blown out whites, I then used a brush to lighten the grass and the foreground so there are tiers of tone.

Thanks LuAnn
I had an image in mind when I rendered the shot in BW that you are seeing, the points you are making here were not in my thinking during editing so I will look at the BW processing again with your input factored in. It may help my digital darkroom vision

Agree with your comment to remove the blurred grass tassel. I will give it a go

A warm welcome to this august group of IR shooters, it is fun bunch to comment on each month. No stone is left unturned here
I like your false color treatment of the castle, the clouds decided to place themselves in a great spot during your cruise that day. Wonderful detail overall but particularly the foreground.
I always wonder how many people labored to make just the walls back them?
I apologize for my late comments

Stop the car and take a picture. Thankfully you did just that.
The clouds are killer here and everything below leads toward them
In my view there are so many ways to render this image because of the scene quality upon capture; all of them will be good. I would make a few copies and experiment.
I apologize for my late comments

I am glad you stopped to take a shot of two of the straight highway ribbon taking you to your destination in Utah. It seemed like the perfect spot with the mountains in the background, the road leading line with sage and what not on either side, and the billowing clouds that maybe could be shade lighter here and there.
Wonderful scene

Look Up - what all good photographers should always do when walking in the woods or in your case the streets.
A simple and effective image. There is texture from the roof shingles, the siding and the clouds. There is shadow created by fallen siding on the side and in the front of the "gable" I like the cropping to remove the lower level of the building. My thought is to open up the dark shadow on your image at the top of the gable like the original - for a little added interest.

I resonate with your narrative about the fear, loneliness and isolation we all felt for months on end during COVID. Your image brings to me tranquility and peacefulness we all sought back then.
I think it is well done and has emotional ties for me.

Your traditional IR is always welcome in my view and always well done.
I love the look of an 830nm image the whites of the foliage are so pure and contrast with the Courthouse so well. Overall the histogram extends tp both sides so the tonal range is perfect
I wonder if the mulberry will spawn an offspring ?

Kudos to you for having the presence of mind to take this shot. It is fine art.
With the curious little girl being the center of attention, a little more processing of her face would be impactful.
