The first one is the old one, here is the new one.

Much, much improved! The added contrast is a big improvement, and what really helps is the definition in the clouds instead of a nearly white mass. Maybe the image as a whole could use just a tad more contrast IMO, but it's nice as is.

I agree with everything that Jeff said.
What a difference! Glad you spent some time with this one, Joe. It really shows.

Thanks for the comments Jeff and John. Ya know, sometimes you work and rework an image so much you lose perspective and cannot do a sound evaluation yourself and thats when it's great to have others give you really reliable feedback. I liked the general comp of this image, but, the light was flat and the sky was uninteresting at shot time so I was just trying to give it a little umph in bw. Thanks again.

Agreed. The new version is wall-worthy.

The added contrast brings so much more drama and impact. Well done.

I think it is a huge difference. I like the added contrast a lot
