I liked the photo other than my shadow. 6'2" and 350 lbs I cast a large shadow.

Yeah the shadow is kind of annoying. I would have shot it from a different angle to get the shadow out of the photo and worst case you could have rotated it in post processing.

Rotated?

Hi there -
My BW conversion was sent to the firing squad in last night's thread. GLAD they did cause this video has shown me a lot. I also downnloaded some free BW conversion action from Nelly Nero flickr acct. (not sure if you have photoshop CS5) - if not there might be tutorials for L3 or whatever you may have
Good luck

Yeah Lightroom has a lot of presets built in for B&W conversions. There are additional free ones from various sources such as google "onone software lightroom presets"

Here is a quick B&W conversion i did using ACR 6 (CS5 Camera Raw/Lightroom 3). I set the Saturation to -100, and then adjusted the Temperature and Tint sliders so the tonality of the 3 helmets and the blue and tan gloves was preserved. I also used the Clarity slider which controls the mid-tone contrast and gives kind of a sharpening effect..

Here is one I did by putting a layer over the original image and filled it with black and changed the blending mode to color. Went back to the original layer and adjusted with hue and saturations, flattened.
