Eastern Sierra Clouds

Almost looks like an IR image. I really like the strong contrast in the sky. The mountains and foreground flatlands look a bit crispy to me, though.

The lighting on the hills together with the black sky give this an another worldly look to it. It's a very creative interpretation. I like it very much. The star of the show is the cloud of course and I particularly like what's going on in the upper right area of these clouds. I like this b&w rendition of the subject much more than the previous pink version. I just think this leaves more for the imagination. 

I know this spot! This truly shows the grandeur of the Sierra in all its glory. The sky, of course, is the star here, and I like the way you processed it. The tonal range throughout the image looks great to me. You did a real fine job on this Mr. H.!

The large version--definitely!

Your black and whites are raging lately.

Amazing clouds and perfect techs.
Stunning!

Excellent B&W, I do miss the Eastern Sierra.

Harley,

You do have a way with these "wide open spaces" landscapes. This subtlety that strikes me here is how the enormity of the Sierra Range is seemingly dwarfed by the clouds. Of course it's more options and perception more than anything,  An odd, but effective combination of cloud formations too, which adds to the uniqueness of this landscape.

Not sure what can be done about it, but my only observation is the result of the polarizer where the sky on the right is lighter than on the left, mostly just above the range.  Not a big deal, just an observation.

ps. I think the contrast and tonal range is spot on.

Sweet, big sky and big country image, Harley.  l love this in B/W/  The little lit cloud in the center of the big cloud mass is perfect.  I can see what Lon is saying with sky gradient right vs left.  I probably won't have noticed if he hadn't pointed it out.  I might play around with painting that in a bit.  Other than that minor nit, another beauty.  I'll bet Maggie's getting sick of your ugly mug 24/7.

Very interesting clouds formation - kind of reminds me of an eye.  This has an otherworldly feel to it.

Harley: Didn't know quite what to expect from the thumbnail but this is awesome. Marvelous conditions and scene superbly rendered.>=))>
