To me that shot is just screaming for color and a little touch of HDR, just my HO

It's not the sunrise or sunset you think tramsey, quite bland, thus the b/w treatment. Thank you for comment and taking time to do so.

Frank, very dramatic in B/W. I do like it. The clouds go from dark to lighter as you go across the sky. The clouds are almost lined up in rows.
I find it hard to believe this would just be a Bland shot in color.

Thanks for comment NJ, it is not the orange and yellows you might expect, more whites, blues, and grays.

It's a wonderful sky, of which I am envious, but I agree with others about color. Yeah I hear you about the fact that it's not what we imagine, and I have some of these of my own where nature desaturated them instead of me. This may be the better solution but would ya let us see the color version anyways?

Nice capture no matter what.

There's color, but boy is it a surprise! Green fluffy beach! Plants of some kind?

Frank said I could edit and repost, so here.

And I see why he went with monochrome, multiple reasons - who expects lumpy green plants all over a beach?

I'm not going to say I told ya so, nicely done minniev. The plant life you see is growing in the dunes, the beach is only about 40 yards wide from the dunes to the water along this shoreline. I don't know what kind of plants but they support all kinds of small wildlife including plenty of rattle snakes.

They look like the moss that grows on the lava fields in Iceland.
