A snapped shot at the entrance to the Sonoita Winery in Arizona. Converted to B&W using channel mixer - adjusted levels and increased contrast. USM and cropped. I know there will be a million beautiful landscapes but I hope this might actually do quite well. Either way, I think I will get a print for my wall!

The tilted horizon a bit disconcerting, but what a dramatic sky! And the foreground tones are really interesting as well. Rotate it, and this would be a killer shot!
Very nice landscape. I like the way the rode leads into the shot, and with such interesting curves. On the other hand, this is more difficult to appreciate in black and white because of the strong contrasts on the land and the sky make it appear very "busy".
Also, either the landscape is pitched right, or the camera was inadvertently tilted.
