 Thanks guys for votes and comments.

I VERY rarely do convert landscapes in B/W but this time I immediately fell in love with this version of the shot.

About the processing: I can say I worked a lot in Camera Raw. The more I improve my editing the more I understand how important is this tool. I worked on clarity and selectively on background and foreground to balance dark and bright areas (it's a double exposure). After some easy steps in Photoshop I opened the image once again in Camera Raw. Well you can see what I got.

I'm extremely happy to read here the name of Ansel Adams. The tones of BW reminded me of him from the beginning! :)

VERY nice work Alessndro- The minute you posted this, I knew I had to go the extra mile/kilometer to beat you this month. The monochrome tones are perfect in this.

Exceptionally rendered in B&W, this image evokes moody emotions and textures you can almost touch it. Not tired to visit over and over again. Well done!
