I assume this is a phone camera?
I think it loses some impact in mono. The original colour can be tweaked to reduce noise and improve contrast, as well as to reveal some more detail in the mountains, and then if this is used to convert, the result may look a little better, but I still prefer the colour.
Ive cheated and posted a mod with both version together for an easy comparison. I did a screen capture of the colour, so the quality is not great.
You can also upload the original colour along with this mono by clicking modifications, then upload, then select the colour.

This is a natural history record, and really should be in colour these days. The quality is not good. Rather mushy and unsharp. I suspect the phone camera struggled to find anything to focus on. The tonal range makes the mountains look like lumps of coal. I think you tried too hard.

This was a special sight, Bill, and I'm glad you recorded it.
These develop on the downwind side of a mountain and are often mistaken for UFOs because of their saucer-like shapes.
Can you tell us what processing you carried out? I particularly like the colour version in your portfolio.

Thankyou, Bill.
My concerns were:-
There is quite a lot of noise in the sky area, which is either brought about by processing, or by a large crop.
There is a jagged top to the mountains, so take care when working on individual areas.
Although camera phones are pretty good nowadays, I suspect the slightly poor image quality is due to this.
However, as Willie says, it would be good to see the original colour version.
