North Dakota creek

First drawing from North Dakota.  Used gray paper and tried some white charcoal.  It looks way more contrasty here than on the original,  I think I should have used a lot less of the white.. The creek is much smaller and mostly rocks but I went for more water. I started a water color of this and don’t like it, going to try a different approach. 

Is it breaking the rules to post two versions of the same topic?  

Thank you for your comments,  and hope all is well with you.
