I decided to try turning this one into a B&W for the challenge.

Best to view in full screen.

Thank you for the views, and your comments.

It works well in B/W, Tigz. It lets my imagination paint in the colors.
Looks like something the old masters would do.

Nicely done Sandi! The clouds take on a softer appearance. I've just been going back and forth between color and B&W. This is a masterpiece!

I wouldn't think a sunset would work in B&W but this is interesting.

Anything works in b&w if it's done well, considered well, shot well, composed well. This one certainly is, to me rather like Stephen King meets Huckleberry Finn. Uber-drama with lots to look at, from the barely-in-the-frame sunburst on the far left to the moody murk on the right, the far and near shores, the bird, the crisscrossing clouds... mighty fine work, Sandi. If this one doesn't do well in Lyn's challenge, I'll eat my lens leash! -Nik

This B&W version creates a hard to define but very special mood, Sandi. I have feeling that some unpredictable things will happen soon. Don't feel me at ease. If that was your goal, you've succeeded very well, LOL!!!

Good item for the challenge!

Regards, Cornelius.

A very dramatic sky that seems to brood over the water. Good image for the b&w challenge, Sandi.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

You got a great idea, dear SAS.
Sorry for the delay, I am still catching up with what I missed in order to have less to catch up with next time, ie tomorrow when I am going to be late again - work. :)
