Hi, Misha,
Such a wonderful view in that seascape! The b&w is really nice but it takes away the golden hues of the sunset. Agree with others that the foreground may be a bit long into the darkness but not really an issue for me.

I read your article on Yosemite and that's the reason I'm here! James posted a link to it on the DPReview D70 forum.
That has to be an exhilirating experience to stand atop Matthes Crest but one which I'll never see except through your images. I've been to Yosemite a few times, most recently last Summer. We hiked a few of the shorter trails but climbing isn't going to happen! )

Best regards,

Dick:)
