Great sky and FG...my only "complaint" (and I use that term loosely) is (what appears to be) a grad line near the top of the rock formations, particularly on the left.
Here's the color version, as requested, which was processed from scratch as I did not save a copy when I first worked the images.
Grad line? - Possibly, Mark. But you know, those rocks really were strangely a LOT darker than the other rock in the area. Even when I look at doing a possible blend from another image at +2 stops, those rocks are still much darker than any others in the original image.
Marc, I think I have been to this area....... A great shot in a B&W conversion. I left mine in color and spent a lot of time working on those dark rocks, to a point of almost thinking the image was lost. I did finally get it to acceptable level and I posted it in ESS awhile back as you recall. Your image has really very nice detail to it & the color is all very natural too.
I prefer the B&W version because I find the dark rocks too distracting in the color version. I'd be inclined to lighten the top left sky just a touch or feather out the 'halo' around those rocks. A very nice image though.
