Flourish

Another dramatic sky...You get a lot of these. Nice SS, the cloud looks like taffy.
Maybe just a tad lower for a bit more FG?

Excellent!  Very dramatic and beautiful sky and I love the high contrast. I might clone in a bit of texture/cloud in the bright white areas above the three smaller rocks on the ridge. 

Gary,

Great power and drama in those clouds and the landscape has a matching mood to it with that high contrast.  I like the balance between the land/rock and the sky/clouds.  The contrast in the rocks/grass may be a little high for my taste, but again it reflects the power and drama of the clouds and overall scene, so it works!

I love this, Gary.  The diagonal rock formation, clouds, and clear sky at the top make for some wonderful layers and a very engaging composition.  The shutter speed choice is perfect.  No nits from me.

The unusual thing about this image is that it looks more like surf breaking over a rocky shore than clouds over land. 

This is superb, Gary. Those clouds are just outstanding and add tremendous impact. To me, this image is all about the sky so I might bring down the brightness of the grasses a touch to maintain focus on those incredible clouds.

This almost looks like an erupting volcano with the triangle formed by the landscape making the cone and the clouds forming the plume of ash.  Then again it might just be my overactive imagination!  

Either way this is masterly composed with the converging lines in the landscape pointing upward to the great cloud formation.  There is a lot of interest throughout the frame and your B&W processing is great as always.  Maybe those are at least volcanic rocks...

Excellent image, Gary. Awesome cloud formation. I agree with Dave about the brightness of the grass a pinch. Looks great though. 

Fantastic, Gary.  Love the bold, dark rocks across the bottom, adding so much power to the already powerful drama of the sky above.  And the bright grasses mimicing the whites of the clouds.  Simply superb.  Another masterful black and white.  Love the larger version of course.

Amazing dynamism to this image. The moving clouds and strong contrast really help the mood. Great job with another amazing B&W gary

Like this photo, started out in B&W, loved developing my own photos but fell in love with velvia! when I started to photograph nature.Digital processing was a whole new ballgame!
 Thanks for the welcome and comments Gary and hope to run into you one of these days in the neighborhood!
