This is very nice Myer. The cloud looks wicked. Like your treatment, just might clone out the pole at the front.

[Christopher Miller]

That's one wicked looking cloud, Myer. I like the leading lines in the FG and your choice of B&W. Maybe just give it a touch more contrast.

[Kerry Perkins]

Hi Myer, nice job with the b&w. You got a nice tonal range and I think the bump of contrast would make it even better. Being from Indiana, I recognize "the hook", and you are right - this could have been bad news! Nice dramatice feel. Does it need a touch of CCW rotation?

[Myer Bornstein]

Thanks again to all for the suggestions. I added more contrast, much better so i printed the picture

[Patti Edens]

I love the painterly look to this. It is a beautiful, dramatic scene.

Beautiful composition. The cloud looks really good with the b&w conversion. Nicely rendered.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Myer, I really like the composition. Topaz gives it an illustrated look - almost like a Norman Rockwell.
