What really strikes me here is the absolutely perfect handling of tonality and luminosity throughout. It shows a very good eye for the art. Well done! Where was this taken at, Abdulmajeed?

Very well composed and processed. The tree really stands out in this rocky environment. I like it.

Very dramatic - love the mix of textures int he different rocks and sky. The sides of the frame, especially the mnts look a bit too dark for me compared to the rest of the range. Possibly intentional

to direct our view, but I think tree, and light FG do that plenty. So, I might suggest opening up the shadows a tad on each side of the frame. Those peaks look like the Sierras, but I'm sure they probably are not.

The single tree is nicely contrasted against the rocky landscape and the cloud movement is excellent. I like the glow on the bg mountains and your overall comp is very well balanced. Nice b&w tones.

Really good here! Like the whole scene.

I do wonder if a little graduated darkness on the bottom might compliment it?

Very nice landscape. The 10 stop B&W filter works well here, giving drama and movement to the sky.

Nice image! The B+W really works well, and the comp is spot on, IMO.
