Fine monochrome with a broad range of values captured. If it were mine, I'd play with kicking down the brightest cloud highlights.

Thank you all for your kind sentiments.
Regarding the brightness of the highlights, the blinkies were telling me that I was pushing my luck with the exposure - 1/500s @ f/11 ISO 200 - but the camera's histograms showed no spikes at the right end and when I looked at the raw histogram with RawDigger it agreed:
Nevertheless, after a couple more shots I increased the shutter speed to 1/800s to reduce the blinkies and move the histograms left by 2/3 stop. The overall rendition is about the same.
The highlights are extremely bright because that is about as bright as white clouds can get, something that we don't see every day.
I left the shadows dark so the clouds would stand out.

Nice black and white!
Thank you all.
I should also point out that Sunny 16 (1/400s) would have blown the raw highlights in the first image. What saved it was that I exposed it 1/3 stop darker at 1/500s.
But there was no harm in not trying for ETTR in the subsequent images by using 1/800s. Even the JPEGs SOOC looked right at that exposure.

Great! That’s what a black and white is supposed to look like. I really liked making shots like that waaaaay back in the black and white film days. Thanks for the nostalgic shot.
