Well done.  I like the opposing curves of the figure in the rock above the curve of the lower feature and trees.

Nice abstract to give a more intimate landscape.

I love it, the walls, with their textures offer a perfect background for that big round rock.

To add to what others have already said, you've really nailed the b/w processing in this photograph. (Having failed miserably to achieve similar results, I really respect your efforts to get those tones.) Nice.

Lovely tonalities. I like the scale, and contrast between plants and rock.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I've found when it comes to B&W processing, less is always more. This photograph was minimally processed in photoshop raw. It was converted to B&W using silver efex-pro where I added a yellow filter. No other adjustments were made.

I have started to use a hand held light meter as well.
