This is very dream-like. The rock has so many different shades it almost seems like water or metal. Lovely lighting! 8

NIce idea and execution. Interesting subject and I like the opening with the view. It gives the photo an added demension.

Wonderful shot. The backside presentation serves to capture the sense of awe one experiences coming to such an opening.

Even if this wasn't technically perfect it would be a great shot. Your b/w conversion is very nice. I love the tonal range you captured.

Very nicely done. I do wonder why you chose b/w for this though. To me this scene screams out for color.

Good exposure to be able to see the details both up close and in the distance. Also, I think bw works well here

my comment would be that this shot is a little on the soft side, a good shot but to soft.
