Looking for C&C on this. I don't mess with B&W too much but am anxious to get good results when I do, so any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

first lose that white vignette

I agree with mmaria but also and maybe its just me but it looks more grey and white.

2 is much better than 1

Thanks! I had a feeling the vignetting would be the first thing to get mentioned. I kinda like it but thought it might draw the same feeling selective color draws. I edited my first post to include another without the vignette and a bit more contrast, but I think the silver sky in the first looks better.

Yes number # 2, much much better.

The lighter sky in the first image is good, but perhaps this could be realised with a curves adjustment lightening the sky tones rather than the vignette. Otherwise, a very good photograph.
