Very nice one Russ.
What about making this a B/W and silhouette?
The sky colors are lovely though - maybe just a silhouette in color.

Hi Chris, I looked at it in B&W. Here it is. It's a different picture. It was dawn when I made the shot, and I kind of like the dawn colors.

For some reason the remaining shadow details in the color version somehow irritate me, but they don't do that in the B/W version.
Don't ask me why - I have no clue - its just a feeling.

Perhaps because they're much more detailed?

FWIW, I prefer the b&w version.

They're more detailed because I did a high structure B&W conversion. I could produce the same effect (pretty much) in the color version, but I'm not sure it would improve it.
