I really like the layers in this! IR makes this a dramatic image and the oil paint effect creates a nice unified effect within the leafy tree layer. Good composition with the higher palm tree diagonal from that low palm-type vegetation on the grassy peninsula. Also like how the lily pads lead the eye into the image. Did you use an IR converted camera or process the IR conversion with Nik or PS or something?
