I'm getting ready to submit this photo for our camera club critique night. The theme is "black and white." Any suggestions to make it better before I submit it to the club would be appreciated.

Jack, it appears to have a slight sepia cast to the photo and does not look like a true black & white. Do you know how to remove the pinky/brown cast? The photo is very sharp and I love the composition. Good luck with the contest.

Very nice as is, but if it was mine, I would probably increase the contrast just a little bit and maybe go to a full sepia treatment.

Great clarity, interesting subject, nice tonal range. A winner :)

Thank you, I will remove the seipia cast
Jack, I downloaded your photo, took it into Photoshop CS5, did the following. Image> Adjustments> Desaturate then back to Image> Adjustments> Levels. Brought the black slider to the right a little, white slider to the left a little and you can play with the shadow slide to make it pop. I can repost the photo if you would like to see how it came out.
The only reason I mentioned the sepia tone was in your original post you stated that the theme was, "Black and White." I think it is a great photo as it stands, with remarkable clarity.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll do some work on it and then submit it.

Unfortunately some of the clouds are blown out.
You might want to try to cut down on the contrast in the skies to enable seeing more of the features of the clouds. Be sure you mask out the buildings before making your adjustments to the skies.
