Timeless Beauty

This image of the Grand Canyon was taken about 2 hrs prior to my early GC sunset post, while a heavy overcast was beginning to break and clouds were beginning to be more defined in the sky.  Since the sky was essentially grays, whites, and some blues in shadow, I decided to convert this to BW.  My favorite type of lighting is dappled sunshine, as it helps give texture - especially so it seems over canyon landscapes.  I posted this crop of the full pano as I think it displays better in the thumbnail view.  I have included a much larger full pano below.  Hard to find balance in large views of the canyon, this may be my best effort though still editing through images.  A colorful sky can compete with a colorful canyon, so maybe the color version might be preferred to some. Conversion in PS CS6. Thanks for the view, any suggestions.
