Another B&W Try
This is actually the picture that my friend suggested I try converting to B&W. The original color image is in the Coronado Trail post below. It didn't convert directly to black and white very cleanly, because the mountains didn't have enough contrast. So first I did some cropping and color adjustment (mostly in the blue pallette), giving this picture of the clouds over the Catalina mountains:
Then I removed the color saturation, giving this image:
I also tried just making the color more subdued, giving this look:
I think the last one is pretty interesting!

This image has a lot of potential IMO. Hopefully you don't mind me making a few suggestions based on what I've learned from other photographers.
The main focal point of this image is the clouds. There is not a lot to attract the eye in the foreground. I suggest you try cropping out some of the foreground, and see if you think it improves the image. The second suggestion is to up the contrast in the clouds. I think it would look better if the clouds contained more shades of nearly pure white. IMO, there are two regions in this picture, the clouds, and the mountains in rainfall. You might try maninpulating the two regions separately. Hopefully you don't mind me sending you verions that shows what I'm suggesting!
