Good Morning,
This shot was taken in color and converted to BW. I think the BW works due to the somewhat ominous feel to the image.

Please comment and critique, does it look ominous? Any recommendations on how to improve the shot? I am looking for something I do not see or have not thought about how to improve.

Thanks.

It's a nice shot, great composition, nice and sharp. I think it's a bit bright to be ominous. I would again mask out the separate elements and level-adjust them separately; you have a nice range of tones to work with. You could try pasting in a cloudy sky to add to the ominous effect as well.
