I guess I'll resurrect this shot of Lake Louise a few years ago right before the wind rose and the sky opened up.

Very ominous sky Sandy. B&W works well here. I especially like the contrast with the snow covered peaks.

Doesn't look too awfully stormy but so what, I love that sky. The clouds look almost silky and its a good standard comp of Lake Louise. Maybe could stand an increase in contrast in the midtones. Nice.

Hi Sandy! The sky does look like it is about to let loose. I like your B&W conversion and how it brings out the contrast of the snow covered peaks. Nice work!
