Hi, sorry, the photo doesn't look like IR. It looks like a normal photo.. Maybe you can visit the IR Photography thread to have an idea. IR is very subjective as to how you process it but there are some basics you can also read up in that thread. I am not an expert but just one quick example:

Please let me know to remove it...

Thanks for the comments MGohzxc. I was trying to give a natural feel to the photo and still trying to retain part of the picture as IR.

I like the example that you have posted.

i like the treatment by MGohzxc, composition wise i think you could move in and focus more on the cloth seller.

I will leave the comment of IR.

As stated your main subject is the "Cloth Seller" and the 2nd subject is "Kashmir Valley". It can be done in a few ways to present your theme "Cloth seller in Kashmir valley", one method is using the wide angle lens move yourself closer to the Cloth Seller, the purposes is to present to the viewer what he was selling (your current photo was not so cleared) and at the same time make sure you have Kashmir Valley in the background. Try to shoot the cloth seller at his eye level will be better.
