B&W with lightroom

[Stormchase]

Just an attempt at processing a black and white from my Sedona, Az trip. I like them but little experience. Tips, CC appreciated!

Overall a bit dark. Need to bring the white point down.

I still had it loaded up in Lr. I see the improvements thanks. I was thinking it might be a little dark as well. I set the exposure before the vignetting. my bad for not re-looking. I bumped the exposure .6 and whites down -30. Lost a little drama but overall.. well rounded and still plenty of contrast to work with.

Hey KmH, I was looking for ideas on the photo in general. Things i could do better. It seemed like that was mostly software issues and a tech group of fine people so i didnt want to post it there. Ill go dig through and see if i can find some good info on processing. Thanks
