Very dramatic moment in the valley Tony, I like it. The only thing that throws me off is all the light area along the mountains and tree line on the left, looks as if the area was dodged during pp. Without the "dodging" I think the mountains and tree line would blend in with the cloudy background and certainly become not as dramatic; maybe less dodging if that's the case. But then, maybe that's the way it was. :wink:

Beautiful dramatic scene! This is excellent. I might clone out what looks like a contrail at the top? The B&W works beautifully in this scene, too. Great choice.

Tony this is very nice in monochrome. Great contrast and good composition. Even some mystery with the fog there.
Well done.

Thanks for the comments.This is another version, shot soon after the first. I included more of the river and omitted the warming tint. I'd appreciate comments on the changes.

I like the added river, but like the darker, more dramatic presentation of the first version.

Terrific conditions with the mist and those lovely clouds.

I prefer the first version with the slight tint.
