Beautiful scene, Erick! I will leave others to comment on your preferred mode here of B/W as I am still learning that method...

I found this image a bit 'flat'. There is not a great deal of tonal variation and I think it would benefit from more contrast to help define the various parts of the picture.

If I may, I would illustrate this by example:

By the way, you have an awful lot of dirt on the sensor of your camera. It does need to be cleaned.

You and others may not agree with my suggestion (which is fine), but I think it gives the picture more definition and structure.

Nice scene.

thanks Isabel and John, this is the view from our bedroom and veranda and the 2 dish/radar was part of the American facilities here in Baguio. Isabel, I'm new too in b&w, was force to convert the image cause there's not much to enhance PP due to the weather (overcast/cloudy/gloomy/gray) and time (4ish pm) i took the shot.

thank you sir Donald, i do like your image better and no offense taken when you said mine's a bit flat. I'm just starting to learn B&W PP, so i really have no idea how to do thing's right? I'm using ACDSee Pro, but i guess I'm not doing the software any justice when it comes to B&W. a big question now is how did you do it? And on the dirt on my camera's sensor, how'd you saw it, though i have to admit, since i bought my d90 August of 2008, it hadn't been cleaned yet.think i have to bring it to my mentor. Again, your critic is much welcome, thank you and hoping to hear from you again if its not askin' for too much.
