converted to B&W in silver efx

let me know if you think it's still to flat or if I need to punch up the contrast

Wow, this is like a scene from a fairy tale...fantasy movie !!

I'm viewing it on a non-calibrated mon so can't comment on contrast, etc.

Michael, Maybe a hair more contrast in the mid-tones. I need to get to that Watchtower on the East Rim someday!! I like the composition w/ the clouds

Hi Michael, Nice conversion and interesting scene. For my taste I would crop out most of the bush on the left.The clouds are very strong but I'm wondering if the verticle cloud is smoke?

I'm not sure I'd crop the bush on the left but I would try to bring up a little more detail in the black center area of the bush. I'm fine with the contrast - I think it's another stunning image. You've got me homesick for the canyon now...
