The imagecontrast is nice. However due to the inclusion of your friend in the image, the compositional balance is a bit slanted to the left hand side.

Jack,

Beautiful image - I REALLY like the cloud formations. Your conversion captured them nicely.

I like this one. Did you try to use HDR?

The clouds would reallly pop.

Great conversion and the diagonal lines of the clouds are sweet.

I tried HDR (3 images); but it looked better to me when I merged the darker sky and the lighter foreground.

Jack ... it all works for me. It is a picture of your friend after all not a landscape.
