A very cool composition, David.  I like the silhouette treatment and the B&W works well.

I echo Dennis's comments.  Also, it appears the dog may be walking the person.

David,

the B & W works very good for this image. It creates additional drama to the clouds and it lets the silhouttes stand out stronger. For any  reason, I also like the stripes on the shoes of the person, somehow they create a type of anchor in the image.

Technically a well made image and again B & W works great.

This is a great photo journalistic shot - B&W adds a lot too.  There's a small processing halo around the dog/leash/person which could be cleaned up with re-processing
