John,
A interesting and moody approach to these often seen formations from Bisti. The presence of the dark cloud is quite apparent and I think you've presented this in a way that reflects the dark mood. This is quite effective and I like it. Even like the vignetting at the bottom.
The large version looks even better. The only suggestion I have or observation is that the horizon line and bg hill/bluff is almost too dark. But that's not a major factor. I'd say nice job.

Pretty cool black and white image. I like the texture and near-glow of the foreground rocks.

John,
I think this is a very well done B&W image. I love the contrast throughout and the sky gives it a great mood.

The bizarre formations are very interestiing; I never seen them before. I like the patterns and texture on the rocks.
