Good foreground, the two diagonals add interest, a minor point I would have cloned out the small trail just above the horizon.

What an amazing conversion, glad you converted it to black and white, it gives it all the more drama, top stuff!

I hope to go here someday and witness a scene like this. The subject is magnificent, but I don't know what's wrong with this processing. The blacks are oddly flattened or something.

This has an "other worldly" feel to it.

Nice night work! Are those both planes, I'm guessing? Some very iconic rocks.
