You have done a beautiful job on this and your choice of B&W works well here. I like the silloetted foreground against the softer forboding clouds. Great job.

An interesting concept.
The clouds are wonderful with the highlights agains the darker hues. The foreground works equally well giving rise to a very good creative composition.

I do not think it would have been nearly as dramatic in color, you are right the cloud formations and stormy look are enhanced by the black and white. Donkeyoatey

Than you very much. I actually played with color, sepia and black and white on this dark and hazy morning. B&W turned out to be best, showing the mist and giving a somehow moody feeling.

Comment from GaliaG
even it is B&W I can see the storm and the lovely clouds

Thank you so much for your favorable review and the wishes but it isn't a contest just a challenge with no prizes.
