Knut - two things I always like, dramatic mountain weather and landscapes with a telephoto perspective. Really nice work.  The clouds in the second-last one are superb - it must have been inspiring to be out in that weather.  The only comment I'd make is that there is a bit of a gradient in the illumination of the mountains behind the dark ridge, which looks like a masking effect. Not sure though - it could also be thin cloud in the bay or fjord behind the ridge. 

Cheers,  John

These are really nice. The clouds I am especially fond of. Personally I would have liked to add some contrast or clarity to them, but thats just me :)

Are you a very big fan of classical landscapes like in Ansel Adams?

Thank you for your kind words. Glad you like them, too. I'm getting more and more into b&w again. Actually I've filled the fridge with Tri-x and taken out the old beautiful F4s again. Thinking of develop the film myself and then scan and print.  ::) And what a joy to use the F4 again. ;D

Wow! Those clouds in #6 are really special. I agree with whomever said you need more contrast.

1,2 and 5 are my preferred ones.  I like the rough weather on #1.
