Beautiful scene and I like the grass in his mouth. Slightly over sharpened. A very stark, desolate landscape.

This has a different "feel" because of the added environment. Very well done.

Here's the image I wanted to post earlier, but it was way too crunchy. I went back to the PSD file for the 10x15 print and added some surface blur before resizing.
Conversion was with Nik SEP and toned with the #2 coffee tone. I know that toning is a personal thing, but I'd like some comments on the color and the intensity of the tone. I think the large "pink" cloud at the top needs to be lighter. However, it does not look too pink in the print on Epson Cold Press Natural. I suppose the warm tone of the paper may have helped reduce to pink look.

Very nice composition keeping the animal below the horizon helps a lot. The distant tree is so tiny, gives you a lot of perspective on the vastness. I like the color version better, crunchiness aside. But I'd personally tone down the saturation a bit on it.

I like the colour version, sharpening aside. Not sure the dark parts should be so blue though?

engaging scene here Douglas! I do think the image is a tad oversharpened as it looks 'crunchy' overall...
the mood in the clouds rocks!

Only now saw the monochrome - love it!!

Thanks for the good comments.

Re: blue clouds - boosted blues planning on converting to B&W and wanted dark storm clouds.
Re: Pink cloud - not sure. It looks pinker here than on my monitor or in the print. Nobody mentioned it, but it bothers me.
Re: oversharpened - certainly agree. I made the image for a 10x15 print and then decided to send the image out for comments. Shoulda, coulda!
