Cinder Cone (NV)

Took this photograph on my way out of NV last week. It's one of the cinder cones in the Lunar Crator National Natural Landmark area.

Very lunar or martian, I like the PP treatment a lot. It's perfect for that photo and arid environment.

+1, B/W really works well here.

Perhaps slightly tilted.

Very nice. Not sure about the tilt. I thought so too, but the distant mountain range seems horizontal. Maybe an optical illusion? Anyway, I like it.

I like the sepia treatment.  This would look good framed.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I do appreciate the feed back. As for the "tilt" question, the mountains on the horizon are in line, it's the foreground that's sloping toward the west (left). I chose not to change it. I have a few more photos of the same area that I'm still working on.

This is a beautiful photograph, toning and all. I get the feeling of waves on the open ocean.

I find my eye being drawn to the details in the foreground rather than than those of the undulating landscape. You might try taking about 10% off the bottom to further accentuate the wide open space and direct one's gaze  upwards into the photograph rather than being captured by those foreground details. Just a thought.

Terry is usually right, and this time too. I like his suggested cropping.
Either way, it's a fine image.
