Nice shooting; I like it. Nice black and white tones.

If I were to suggest anything for improvement, I'd crop the top just above the nice white clouds. I don't see that the upper part adds anything to be seen.

I thought about that but I wanted to maintain the aspect ratio.

Thanks, Jack

Pretty. Yes maybe less sky or try darkening the blue of the sky and bringing out more detail in the clouds. In Lightroom I'd reduce highlights, maybe use Dehaze, and play with the blue slider.

My suggestion: you’ve got a great shot, but this is bw, so I would be going for more drama more contrast. The clouds are the subject or “hero” here, I’d try making them whiter and the sky much darker. The immediate foreground darker too. This all easy to tweak if you are using Lightroom. Try it and see what you think.
