Inspired at Bryce + Repost

From Inspiration Point. I’ve been re-working some of my old B&Ws since I got Silver Efex. I've seen many wonderful color images posted here of Bryce glowing in the morning light but I can’t remember too many B&Ws. The difficult thing for me working in B&W at Bryce is to find comps with enough depth of tones and contrast not to look too flat. I think I found it here, at least I hope so. C&C appreciated.

D90/18-55@28mm/f11@1/125/polarizer/Silver Efex conversion

Please see resharpened version below.

Lovely image. Neat B&W conversion work.
On the contrary, it looks just a tad over-sharpened to me - especially on the right half and lower-right.
But again, this may be my monitor duping me !!!

I might try a bit more drama in the sky...it does look over-sharpened to me as well.

Great place and conversion. I second the somewhat aggressive sharpening.

Here's a resharpened version. I'm down to 75% quality level so that may be hurting this for web presentation.

The repost is an improvement. Nice tones and comp.
