This is from the same storm as my last post. I finished working up the color version, and I thought it might work in black & white, so I did that as well. I'm interested to hear your preference and any critiques you may have.

I think my preference is for the black and white version. I would recommend toning down some of the brightest highlights in the upper left hand corner as it seems like some of the highlights were blown. This looks like a peaceful scene.

Craig, It is a nice peaceful scene as Brian mentioned. I agree with toning down the highlights in the upper left clouds if you can. I like the b&w version best because the light and shadow seems to work very nice together.

I prefer the B&W version. The two things that stand out to me are the cloud shapes and those linear shapes in the ice that line up with the tree shadows. Those things show up better in the B&W version for me.
I do agree those highlights could be toned down a bit.
