Monsoon Clouds

Gorgeous B&W landscape capture.

Great work !

There's a lot happening in the turbulent sky that seems to be in dialogue with the texture of the rock, with the calm river caught in between. It takes a special nerve to use B&W in what was undoubtedly a colorful landscape, and pull it off so successfully. 

This is the first vertical format of this location I've seen and you pulled it off incredibly well.  I love the location of your viewpoint through the slot in the canyon wall.  The clouds and distant rain really complete the photo.  Wonderful job!
