Masterful. There is an eye behind this image which combined compositional elements to perfection. Shapes, tones, and processing makes the special look spectacular here. Great work Dennis

Beautiful scene. I like that I can see swaths of yellow on the distant mountains. Kind of ties the whole scene together.

Great B&W tones and great landscape. But it almost feels like two separate images, one the road with trees below and the other the trees, mountain and sky above. Would a lower viewpoint of a different framing resolve that?

I love everything but the road running out of the frame before it (sort of) turns back in. Given the square crop I don't know what you started with, but the processing is wonderful. I just might have sacrificed a bit of the sky and pulled up from the bottom a bit. Really good. Could have been a ribbon for me.
