This is very dramatic in B&W between the clouds and the contrasty rocks. Great job.

I agree. If you are trying for something similar to the "Ansel Adams" look you might try it in a Black and Gray duotone, maybe Cool Gray 6. You could also add a touch of Cyan or a blue to give it a look of having been processed with (I think) a selenium toner after developing.

I think I would like to see it in color as well.

This is an awesome shot, btw.

Not just "like" it. I love it. Very dramatic. This area in Sedona is VERY colorful, but your use of black & white takes the viewer's focus on COLOR away and puts it on lighting and composition. That's what I love about it. I also love the inclusion of the large rocks to the left, as it adds impact to what would be a so-so photo if the church were more centered.
My own photos of this church don't come anywhere close ( though now I'll have to see what they look like in B&W ).

The color has a totally different feel to it ... in this case I think I prefer the B+W.

Looks like there's a little halo under the arch; that and the extreme sharpness along the top edge make it look like a cut-out; sometimes there are parts of the photo which can be too sharp.

It is actually called the "Chapel of the Holy Cross" located just outside Sedona, Arizona. I have a couple images of it to share.

This is a B&W taken on a rainy, foggy day:

This second one is a closeup of the front of the chapel taken on a sunny day where I cloned the really ugly windows at the bottom to make them look more natural and cloned out the ugly bracing on the right side at the bottom of the cross.

Awesome! I'm expecting to see Froto and Arragon in there somewhere.

I believe they are referencing The Lord of the Rings.
