I took this photo in January 2012. IMO i love how dramatic it looks, but do you all think?

Converted it to B/W

Very dramatic indeed. I love the comp but might suggest backing off a little on the cloud contrast, the whites are pretty hot.

Ok, Kurt I backed down a bit but the whites got more gray. I don't think I like it as much.

This looks very dramatic. I agree with Kurt about the highlights in the clouds. I love the dramatic mood and I think this works well in black & white

Very dramatic and this is heightened with the B&W. Right side of the image seems a bit dark.

A wonderful capture of drama! I like the rich B+W too. :toast:

I would consider correcting the luminance fall off on the right, preferably in the raw converter.
