I bet it looks great in color, but I think B&W was a nice choice for this image. It reminds me of how ancient that rock really is.

Very good. Love that belt of clouds. Great perspective, comp is spot on, good contrast. Nothing to criticize about this one!

Beautiful B&W! I probably would have cloned out that thing in lower left since it draws attention, but well done either way.

Nice range of tones in this pic. Is the white leftover snow or sand/water? I wish you had given the white bark of the dormant tree a touch more lightening as it would have provided a nice secondary point of interest. Good work!8

Such a wonderful capture, would have really preferred this in colour and the B&W does not work for me, unless you had some major Ansel Adams processing with more contrast. Good Luck. 6.

A beautiful B&W landscape, those clouds are gorgeous in the way they hug the mountain.
