How did you convert it to B&W?

The wall is too bright. I would up the contrast in photoshop with the curves tool.

I used paint shop pro and selected the greyscale tool... I agree about the wall - its pretty bright...

I don't know if PSP has a channel mixer but that would yield much better results than simply desaturating.
