Landscapes in Black and White...

I live in a place that is quite dramatically flat and have been trying to work on some landscapes that I am pleased with and am looking for some constructive help with my results.

I really am drawn to the last one, looks surreal, wish the sky wasn't so "blown" though..even a little dodging could help it?

Are you adjusting your color levels before converting? Also adding a very slight hue can help.

I like the first one, even with some blow on the sky.
It pass to me something like a miracle about to happen.
Cheers

The second one is really great! It looks so eerie, yet so beautiful. I really love it.

I just realised how great the first photo is, I never looked at the ground. Only observation would be to get those hdr type sky tears cloned out. The third is interesting in terms of the alien landscape. Overall very good.
