It has been a while since I participated in the Monomad Challenge , but when I came across this image today when I was editing, I thought that the clouds would look awesome in Black and White! I hope you agree! This is my first and only post in the challenge for this week!

Nice work. Have you ever tried manually dodging and burning a B+W image Photoshop? It can be a good way to add extra definition to parts of an image. It takes time to get right, but it can really make an image "pop" when done well.

Thanks @rsarvas. Yes, I do use the dodge and burn tools. It's good to have control over the focus in the image.
