Claudia Kuhn level-classic February 16, 2007

Beautiful view Ken, love the tones and contrast in textures from the jagged peaks to the soft clouds. #606354

How very true Ken! This is a beautiful b&w image, wonderful tones and awesome scenery, well captured! #3953652

Nikki McDonald level-classic February 16, 2007

This is great in B&W, and I like that the sky and clouds are allowed so much space. That works so well for over-all balance as the solid, rugged texture of the peaks Claudia refers to could so easily overpower the less substantial clouds. Title works well here, too. #3953679
