With all due repect to the comment above, I think the clouds make this more interesting. Since you asked for advice, I think it is a little gray, so maybe darkening it a little and increasing contrast might help, but it also could cause loss of detail in the clouds. For comparison, click on Sue Wilde's name to see her B&W photo for today. Less gray and more contrast gives her shot some pop.
I like the clouds too, but I think the low clouds/fog is obscuring the mountain a bit? It definitely does not seem as sharp as I'd like. The lower left has great contrast, so I suspect it is the fog.
Are you applying LR B&W filters and presets, or adjusting things on your own, or using something else? Possibly try a different preset, or putting the adjustment brush over the mountain and pushing up the contrast, or clarity, or black on that area only.
@rvwalker@anwan thanks so much for your advice. I won't be home to my computer for a couple of weeks, but I will try again. Usually I use silver efex but I've been practicing what I'm. Learning in the class for LR and elements. I will play with the adjustment brush and fiddling more with contrast in general. I agree the clouds are important to the shot
