I like the composition and the BW works well. A little soft and there seems to be a lot of noise though, especially noticeable in the clouds. What were the camera settings?

Yeah noise or over sharpen from high amount clarity/large radius sharpening/detail extractor. I do like the lines in this photo. Is that a river? Hard to tell if its river with the sharpening, and maybe it needs to be brighter.

I like the comp and the view. But I do also agree with the two other comments about sharpening and noise. I think b&w would work well here!

Yes that is the Bow River. The noise surely came from me converting to B&W in NIK and taking the sharpening too far.

Hi Lucy, I like the comp very much. Seems like B&W was a good choice. I think this is a solid image overall. Nice work!

for me, the highlights are a bit strong but I like the expanse of the view and the strong fg verticals of stone and trees.

Dramatic vista Lucy. I agree the clouds look a bit off, but hopefully an easy fix.
