I REALLY like all of them fly... the second one and the last two are my favorites. They all have a fantastic range of tones; what a great job of processing. Were they shot in Mono or converted ?

Views of the valley never get old. I love the last two. Second to last is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

I understand the desire for artistry with B&W....
But....
I see in color. So. B&W is of no interest to me.
However...
Only the last 2 raise any interest *to me*, the clouds give a common photographic object, character. The 2nd to last image, has great object focus. The viewer is immediately drawn to the central object, Half Dome. The only distraction is the reflection of light on the water's surface. If *I* were to display the photograph (and if I was the photographer!), I would 'dodge' the reflection a bit, to tone it down.
Just my opinion, of course!

I forgot to add that the mountain revealing itself through the clouds on the second to last is almost mystical....
