Interesting capture – feels like an old B&W. I think I would have ended up cropping this image almost in half to capture just the riders on the ridge as silhouettes and on the left side to remove the clouds/sky that is overexposed.

Sky looks very unnatural

this looks like it has potential, but i'm not quite what sure to make of it as is. the post processing seems a bit uneven, especially given the ultra-dark top part, and all the people in the foreground tend to distract from the ones on the ridge. to top it off, i'm sure it looks a lot better large than how you have to present it here. oh well, such is the nature of these challenges. hope this does well for you. good luck!

Wish you had concentrated on a smaller group of horsemen....

A great idea....taken too far in my opinion. Doesn't look like an approaching storm, it looks like a burn tool gone mad.

Holy cow. Nice silhouettes there at the top. The lower right area was dodged too much though.

Not sure the grad works well here. Silhouettes are effective, but spoilt by the other figures on the hill. A longer reaching lens would have been more effective here. Why the extra wide crop?
