Works fine for me Genny other than there are some odd dark blotches in the upper two ridges that look like some sort of processing artifacts. A fine subject matter for a monochrome.

I like this, Genny. The repeated diagonal lines lend a nice rhythm to the composition. The tonal contrast between the trees and the fog works well. I also like the inclusion of the snow covered slope in the background. Your efforts to refine the composition have paid off and your B&W processing looks great. Nice work!

Genny: the repeating diagonals of darks and lights work well for me. Your B/W processing is an excellent choice for this photo. Richard

I definitely thinks this works. The UL ridge seems a bit bright but does balance out the lower right bright foggy area. You handled the large dynamic range very well. Hopefully you have enough of a file left to make a nice print of this after the cropping you needed to do.

Nice repeating pattern of ridge and light and the clouds are great. I would be inclined to clone out the black spots (trees I assume) in the background. Nice choice of B&W. Well done.

I think this works very well, Genny. I particularly love the rays of sunlight filtering thru the fog. I have a couple of suggestions. First, the lowest ridge top looks like the shadows were opened up too much along with the foreground ridge. I think it's fine if they are quite dark. Secondly, the black spots on the background ridge could be cloned. I know they are trees, but for some reason really jump out against the grey of the hillside. I like it alot.

Hi Genny,
I really enjoy this dramatic b&w image. The altering diagonals of dark tree line and ghostly fog are very stimulating. The processing looks really good too genny.
Just some beautiful black and white work
