Mikey, this is a stunning image, really beautiful.
The blue channel tends to moderate the luminance contrast with peaks in the lower/mid level ranges. If you convert this to B&W and use mostly red channel it shifts the peaks toward the ends a little more. Gives a better luminance contrast but the blue really gives this a beautiful colour contrast.
My only slight issue is with the blown out highlights of the tree on the LHS. I much prefer the processing of the other trees.
It really is a stunning image though Mikey and not a bad little bungalow either ;-)
