I suppose it depends on the red filter but in my experience SFX will not do the "wood effect" i.e. white grass and leaves without the SFX filter or a red filter which is way beyond the wratten 25 for normal B&W unlike HIE. On the other hand with a normal red filter it does gives an enhanced black sky and water and asks that question: Is that brilliant sunlight or moonlight?.
It still looks other-wordly on most sunshine shots. A beach minus foliage may well be the place to go. If the next day is dull( normal in the U.K.) you have the added advantage of a film that behaves perfectly normally.
