I haven't been very active with photography of late, but I continue to enjoy the postings here. I have been looking through old files and offer this from a decade ago for your amusement.. During that period, I had a self-imposed requirement to take and print at least one photo per day. A lot of the photos were pretty bad, but I sometimes enjoyed adding captions.
This was taken with a 645D and the 600mm A* lens.

beautiful image, but may i ask why the sky is so noisy?
Thank you!
I don't see the noise on my screen, nor on the original RAW file in Capture One.. It was shot at ISO 800 on the IQ4 150 back, which is generally noise free at that ISO.
Do other viewesr see noise? Please let me know.

I see very heavy grain - reminiscent of Tri-X 400.

Ditto on the heavy "grain". It looks like you dragged the "grain" slider all the way to the right in Lightroom. The whole image looks very coarse. If that's not on purpose, I wonder if there was an error during export?

Yes - I see it too ...
Unfortunately, this devalues the beautiful perspective!

Same here, I've seen this happen also on some of my photo's when converting to b&w, especially when pulling the blue channel down a clouded sky can get very "course" by darkening blue pixels and not affecting white(er) pixels.

Yes, it seems to me very noisy. Did you by chance selectively process the sky through your software (contrast, exposure,...) ? Could be the reason.
