Very nice. In my experience these wide Nikkors cope very well without centre-filters (even with slide film so long as you are not going wild with movements).
In any case, and for B&W especially, I might even add a vignette back in. For this image I might do so to create a little more contrast in the lower half of the image?
Another one from me, from back in August. One of my faves of the year, thematizing 'stillness'. A large print of this is in the offing.

Nice light, Dave -- also looked up the word 'offing'...not a word we use often over on this side of the pond (or the offing, I suppose). Thanks!

A Wheatfield, some clouds and a moon by Faraz Ravi, on Flickr
Not entirely happy with this one, the composition is what I wanted, the diagonal line of cloud matching the tree line is very satisfying. But in the rush to capture the setting moon it seems I missed focus by a wee bit. Also a red rather than orange filter may have been better, I've burned in the sky and the foreground for tone, it was too flat, but maybe I could bring out the lines in the wheatfield a bit more.

Since I have a similar camera this made me think a bit on setup. I would think having scribe marks on the bed for infinity positions for each lens without movements would make setup faster and more precise, especially for those quick get it before it gets away type shots.
Could be made with a stickon strip so as to keep from marring the expensive wood on the camera.
