 The shadow came out like a petroglyph to me. The sky was dark blue and with polarizer exaggerated that effect. Using selective color underneath the gradient map adjustment, I was able to darken the sky to nearly black. :)

Yes, it looks like a petroglyph of a steer. Love the starkness of this photo.

I like the stark contrast, the shadow does remind me of a petroglph, nice eye.

Wow! I love the textures and the detail in this photo. i am sure they are even more apparent because of the black and white.

I really like the contrast against that deep dark sky. Well shot and processed.

textures, stong shadows, the blackness of the sky, the geometric shapes twisted and turned by nature - all that b/w can be

Very cool shadow. Looks like a horse and rider to me. Great detail and excellent processing.

Couple of neat things about this one - the tree looks as though it's raising its arm to the rock, or the shadow, I haven't decided which. And the black is amazingly deep, yet you've kept all the detail in the tree and the rock. Shows a very good understanding of tools both during exposure and afterwards.

Very Cool. Yea, I like converting polarized sky to BW - the blue channel makes for a very stark image.
