Stunning view. There's a lot of details. Is it a byproduct of the monochromatic sensor or is it just strong sharpening? It might my aging eyes also…

Bravo.

Thank you... I believe it is a bit of both processing (clarity, dehaze and contrast enhancement) in conjunction with the mono sensor...  do you think it is overcooked??

This took me back to a long time ago when we visited this area.  I do not think you have overcooked it.   If a Q3 43 monochrome becomes available and my piggy bank is full, then I might fall for it. I have always thought that B&W has a clarity that colour sometimes does not.  Yours is a lovely example.  thanks for sharing it.

the Leica's are plenty expensive but to get a 60Mpx monochrome with EVF, well I just had to sell enough stuff I don't use to buy it!

No, Bob, it's fine like that.
I like it a lot.

Thank you... the contrast enhancement was necessary to bring out the cloud structure to provide additional focus to the scene.
