Yes, I'd back down on the highlights, to bring the details of the clouds back in.Serendipity is a wonderful thing.
The edit is pretty bright, but I don't think it's outside the bounds of comfort; it still works for me.

Nice photos! I have good memories of the Sangre de Cristos, where I used to backpack in my younger days. They were the closest Colorado mountains to the Dallas area where I lived. The Sierra Club would charter a sleeper bus on a holiday weekend, leaving Friday evening and arriving overnight on Saturday morning. Hike in on Saturday and Sunday, hike out on Monday, get back in time to go to work on Tuesday. Fun times and lots of good photos.

I believe these mountains formed the background to Ansel's "Moonrise" photo, my fav picture ever!

Yes, I do believe you are correct, although Ansel was further south than I was - near Santa Fe, and of course on the west side of the mountains.
There is an interesting backstory to "Moonrise."

that's a great story that i recall fondly
Great set of photos!
I love this first shot the most.
The way the mountains dwarf the farm house on the plain is fantastic.

You can find similar spots in Vegas, where the various Strip hotels are silhouetted against the mountain ranges surrounding the city. They're almost always shown up close, dominating the frame, so it's amusing seeing how completely Mother Nature overshadows them.

Thank you.Great set of photos!

This image has received broader praise than I expected it to. I think I underestimated the appeal of juxtaposition you mention above - although that is why I decided to include it in the first place. But I thought the appeal would be a little more limited, and almost didn't include it. Live and learn!
Thanks again for commenting.

This one felt almost painterly to me, like a Dutch still life.

Wanted to get the moon in the frame on this one; just wish it'd been a bit more prominent.

There are a few things that are lost from the original, color version, for sure.not my 'cup of tea'That's awesome. The b&w adds considerable drama to the photo!Here is the first shot in B&W and with a 4x5 crop.
One thing I noticed as I was switching back & forth between the two version was how cool the original was. So I warmed it up a bit - which really brought out the sun's rays on the mountains, and also gave the trees in the foothills a more appropriate hue - and slightly levelized the horizon. Also a slight de-haze on the mountains.
