Mt. St. Helens

Comments, ratings, suggestions appreciated on this b&w, toned shot

of Mt. St. Helens crater. Thanks. Bob

The foreground looks like it has only a few shades of gray, same thing for parts of the sky. Is it the consequence of having to squeeze out contrast out of a shot with little dynamic range? Are the wisps clouds? These technicalities bring down the aesthetic value for me - it's a pity because I like the composition and the image as a B/W shot.

Stefan,

You've got it right--my reservations with this too. It was a hazy day--not much in the dynamic range. Thanks for the comments.
