Love the drama in this scene, Daniel. I think the conversion works best here with the strong weather look taking place. I do think I would take a bit of time and bring out more viewing aspect of the sea stack or rock formation. Maybe just some D&B there. Regardless, the composition is very strong and looks very nice.

The storm and rock look good in b&w. The larger version shows improved detail in the rock, but I agree with Paul that pulling more details out of the rock are likely to improve this.

Great B&W and I love the drama in that sky, Daniel.

The storm sky looks great, maybe a bit lighter on the rock?
Nice B & W conversion.

Great storm clouds/light. I would have liked to see a bit more of the reflection.

Perfect way to deal with our lack of sky color at times. The rain and clouds make this wonderful.

Wonderful stormy sky Daniel and nice processing overall. I could see a little more detail in the rock also. I also like it with a bit off the top. Seems to make it even moodier. But looks great as is. Very nice.
