Here's another take on those clouds at Lake Nicasio. Canon 5D Mark II. Appreciate any feedback.

This is really cool, I love your choice of BW conversion. I maybe would toy with croping some off the bottom left corner.

I love it. I think the comp and crop is great. Wondering if middle ground area with fingers from left & right could be sharper and bit lighter in dark area? Image appears like its sharper further back in distance? Vert cool image.

Sometimes images escape the domain of words; this is one.
B&W is so effective here.

Another gorgeous B&W / cloud scape Lucy. I like your previous post a little better but this is also spectacular.

I like this very much, beautifully composed scene, and I definitely like your choice in B&W. Beautiful work Lucy.

Beautiful moody cloudscape. I really like the way the fog adds to the mood.

The light looks a little funky, even for B&W, but it's a very engaging image with the two darker pointers toward the center. Wondering if the blacks could have a little more texture? Larger, they might seem a bit ink-blotty.

This is really nice but I still prefer the original with the mirrored sky reflection.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond. And Tony—at first I did wonder if the blacks should be lightened a bit. But when I tried that, the balance looked off. Other than some global contrast adjustments, all the light is natural. Sometimes it's best to just let nature dictate the image.
