You just keep finding these excellent locations....
Nice lead in ridge to the haze beyond.
Your blacks to whites processing is always well done.

The wonderful textures and details really shine in the large B&W version, Gary. You also captured a great range of tones and that fog creeping over the landscape is sublime. Great work as usual.

I like it, but it feels less dramatic than the lat one to me. Not really sure why. I think the foreground could maybe use a bit more contrast.

Another homerun in my opinion, Gary. The landforms undulating like a great inland sea, the fog adding to the feeling of immensity of this land. Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

I think you are one of the best at these B&W images Gary. Spectacular image. Raising the whites in the lower potion of the image may make this a little more abstract. Love it in any case. Superb work!

Really nice one Gary. The ridges and lighting work perfectly here. Could also see a pano crop above the sweeping dark ridge in the upper portion, maybe increase the whites a bit for more contrast after the crop? Fine as is though, just an option.

Gary, congratulations on the WP. That ridge offers such a plethora of comps from wide to telephoto.
