I made my way over to Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness and met up with Phillip Noll Jr and we were treated to a fine show of mammatus clouds to accent the wild rock formations. Many of the interesting rocks and hoodoos are small- many under 3 feet in height. At least they were in the area that we were in when the wild clouds came through. Which made it a bit tricky to make comps with the cool clouds directly overhead. In this shot the formations were about 3 ft tall so it was shot with me on my back/side and the camera very close to the ground. Single exposure, 1/40sec@f/16, tripod. 11mm on APS-C.

Very nicely seen and processed! No nits, here.

I can only echo Preston's sentiments. Those are some cool clouds!
Heck of a sky and excellent comp. Dramatic and other worldly. Works for me.
This is outstanding Bob! One of those shots where I just sat and stared and studied for a long time. No nits at all.
Very nice, and one of those occasions where losing sense of scale (i.e. the 3 foot height) is beneficial. I would be inclined to deepen the black just a tish, but that's just a personal preference. I like this as is!
You were blessed with an amazing sky and did very well with it, Bob. Beautiful B/W image.
Excellent placement of the compositional elements and fantastic light! This is very otherworldly. A treat to look at.
Great b+w! The rocks are great, but the sky is amazing, with those mammatus clouds and other stuff. No nits.
Excellent, Bob, very dramatic
Very ominous looking scene, like something from a Star Wars Movie. This is a powerful composition and a great use of B&W.
Almost surreal, Bob. Certainly an image that gets your attention.
The clouds are terrific and really add to the other wordly feel to the image. Wonderful composition.
Marvellous. Composition and lighting are super. I think a touch more contrast is needed, at the moment everything seems a bit too grey.
Wow, that's some superb drama, Bob, and a super comp with killer clouds. I think I'd agree with Kah Kit about the overall grayness needing some work. I'm also confused a bit by the light on the foreground formation on its right side when the shadow shows that the primary light source is coming from the opposite side. Only a photographer would pick that nit though ;-)
WOW, not sure how I missed this beyond I had not been posting in Landscape for quite sometime until recently. Bob, your present image in the Landscape gallery is wonderful, this one is great....congrats on the EP, very well deserved with this scene......
