Forbidding and austere. I would like to see a bit more emphasis on black.

lovely textures and mood here Stuart
I agree it can use a slight darkening of the black channel...

Stuart,
Never would have guessed Kilimanjaro - then again, what would I know about that mountain?  Wonderful details throughout and I think an excellent, intimate mountain landscape. This works well in the b&w. I do think the previous comments are on to something though - maybe dropping the shadows or create more range of tones throughout the rock? I dunno, maybe.
Excellent comp and image overall.
Lon

To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

The grand scale of the landscape as well as the harsh climate comes across very well. A powerful image.

Strong composition, nice B&W tonality. The beautifully textured foreground emphasizes the background mist.

That is quite a scene. Looks very remote and rugged. I think this makes a really nice b/w and also like it as it is here. Wonderful detail seen in your large version. Very nice!!
