I'm appreciating the diverging lines of the clouds and the distant ridge/mountains. Wouldn't mind seeing the color version too.

I love the different layers and the tonality here. Also the sky looks quiet interesting. The image looks a bit soft, though

Lots of nice contrasts Rick. I'd sharpen a little more too.

I agree that it is a little soft and there appears to be quite a bit of noise in the sky. I also like the b/w work you've been submitting. This has all the tonal range a guy could ask for.

I like the many textures presented in this image and the different layers throughout - though I'm finding it has a lack of punch. Their just isn't enough contrast for me between the lights and darks - I'm betting if you got aggressive in the post processing you could make the image more "vibrant"
