Any and all comments are welcome, but I am particularly interested in any feedback on processing as I have been experimenting with some new contrast/B&W methods in Photoshop:

I like my b+w really dramatic. I like this photo. I like the contrast, but it doesnt hold my attention for to long. I think it would be an awesome spot when the clouds are a little more dramatic. Maybe a little more detail in the rocks

Too much of the rocks is lost in the shadows. Read up on "exposing to the right"...this will help you to avoid blowing out highlights while keeping details in the shadow portions. Also, the use of graduated filters or learning how to do multiple exposure blending will help to balance out the exposure between shadows and highlights. As it is, your camera's meter is exposing for the bright sky, forcing the foreground into shadow.

Unfortunately in the digital era we've become obsessed with shadow detail. As yours are completely black, it will always be a source of annoyance for many viewers.
