Post Challenge: I was pleasantly surprised to win a ribbon on this one. I was hoping for top 10.
There were so many beautiful images in this challenge anyone of which could have been ribbon winners. I particularly like 4th place Translucent Lake and 6th place Multnomah Falls.
Thanks to everyone for their votes & comments!

Congrats on your Bing!
B&W is and always has ben my favorite medium, and this is a superb example of how a quality B&W landscape should be. Very well done.
Congrats on the ribbon. Thanks also for the props on my pic (Multnomah). While I think my pic is great, I think you clearly have every right to enjoy your ribbon. A well deserved placing!
Wow! Beautifully composed and that sky is AMAZING! I think that the black and white definitely works here, though I'd be curious to see a colored version as well. Extremely well done!
A very strong photograph. Brilliant lighting and dynamic well balanced composition. Post processing looks very professional leaving details in all areas.
Top marks.
the black and white works wonderfully here. i find myself filling in the colors in my mind which is kind of cool. i love the clouds and the detail of the rocks. absolutely amazing. 9
