I took this almost two years ago and decided to go back and rework it in B&W. I'm glad I did. I like it much better this time around. I think I will print this one.
Print it and put in on the wall, Keni! A beauty!
That is a truly amazing B&W rendering. Ansel would be proud of you, for sure. It takes a good capture to be able to render that well. Kudos. Please stay well and keep on sharing.

This is very good Kenie. You say you will be printing this, I'd like to suggest you open it up a little bit. I've found and others that the printing process is always a little darker. I don't think you would want that to happen.
I took the liberty to try my hand at opening up the darks and adding a small amount to the whites. I wanted to try and see if I could notice there was water and see the reflections in the water without making things go grey. I kept your sky just as it was, a great asset to the picture. Attached is the results. If you like it and want to see exactly how I did it I will get you the Photoshop file with the layers.

A very bold and powerful picture.

Thank you so much. As I learn more about post processing it is fun to go back and rework older photos.
Beautiful image Keni - printworthy for sure!!!

Jim I really appreciate it. I would like to see what you did. I recently bought a printer and I have little to no experience printing myself. I usually send them to my local camera shop and that can get expensive if you have to reprint it because of issues like you mentioned, especially with a custom size. You are always very generous with your knowledge and expertise. Thanks!
I always seem to get in at the end of these posts when all the words have been said so I'll just say Exquisite
