Nice cloud cover in the sky, but I think I would have preferred to see this in color.

good shot, i think b&w was a good choice here as it adds a more dramatic element to the sky.

I would love to see this photo as a big poster. The small image size surely does not do the image justice. Excellent capture!

The image is so small its hard to appreciate the broad scope of the scene. Nice work.

Nicely done bw. The smallness of the hikers really gives a feeling of strength and power to the clouds and landscape.

Nice panoramic. I like the conversion to black and white and the fact that it is slightly underexposed as it adds to the feeling of desolation in this photo. Well done.
