David, this looks like quite a dramatic waterfall. The overcast sky fits nicely with the textures and shapes in the land. I’m especially enjoying the textures in the water (ice??) along the right lip. Some (more?) burning of the bright sky on the right would add to the moodiness of the view.

I like the look of this scene a lot. It lends itself well to being B&W. I agree with Mark that it might benefit by darkening that right area of the sky a bit. Well done. So, was it loud?
