Welcome to NSN. Fantastic introduction. Love the textures throughout especially in the play of light in the grass. Terrific as is, though, I would also consider cropping a small bit on the top to make and even third grass, third bright sky and tree and third dark clouds. But that's just a matter of taste.

This is a really strong BW landscape from top to bottom. No nits from me.

A brilliant composition, Michael. Literally! -- the glow around the tree is amazing, especially sandwiched in between the dark tones above & below. Great swirling shapes in the clouds & grass. I really like this! Taking an IOW on your first posting is not a bad way to arrive. :) Welcome...
