Not bad, I like them.

I like them too! Although they are a bit contrasty for my taste, that is a personal thing, otherwise, great shots!

very nice composition on #1 and the lighting on 4 and 5 are excellent, except IMO just a little more hair lite would have given a better overall outline. what did you use for sidelights btw?

Although, I have to agree that there is just too much contrast. I know that you were going for a dramatic lighting effect but the tones are just too harsh and it looks unnatural to me. I suspect it was boosted in post, in which case you can just bring back a little detail so that the highlights have more range. Subjective though of course.

nice job

Nice. I have tried to shoot B&W like that but seem to end up with a lot of grain in the black areas. Not a rich black. Tips?

3 and 4 are pretty cool

the mood created by using black and white also can be felt by me
