It must be breathtaking to see this. So cool to see a cloud taking over a peak like that.

Very dynamic image. It seems to be cropped a little tight to me. Maybe that's just my preference. It is well done though.

Powerful B&W, love the shape of the cloud.

What an awesome scene, and captured in beautiful, dramatic light. My one nitpick on this is that the final web image is a little "crunchy." Slightly oversharpened to my personal taste.

A very unique cloud formation. Good clarity, too.....6

mysterious and dramatic.

This appears to be a lenticular cloud over Mt. Rainier, with Little Tahoma in the background. But I don't know what the vantage point was (Crystal Mountain?) Nice B&W, some haloing on the right half, though. 7

For one, your BW tones are just stunning, which really make this image. That incredible cloud is of course the bomb. I love this photo.

Love the contrast. Perfect b/w. Beautiful scenery.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2010 03:06:18 PM
Fantastic B&W conversion. Although the cloud works well would love to have seen more of the mountain. This looks unreal and would love to see the pp work on it. Great image. 8

What an amazing cloud. Great scene, seems a bit contrasty to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 12:27:03 PM
really cool capture, one that leaves me wondering where were you to capture this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 11:22:25 AM
I love this. Beautiful to look at, the only thing distracting for me is the dark cloud in the upper left. For some reason my eyes keep getting drawn to it. Still a 9 for me.

Love this, and I know the mountain...Nice BW 7
