Everything came up b&w

I met some friends on Saturday morning for a photo walk. Everything that I processed and liked ended up being b&w. I guess I was in a mono mood. Here is a sample. NOTE: I noticed this theme of patterns here.

1) Lonely hallway.

I'll add one more to the patterns theme.

4) Wall points.

Back in my B&W days, I used to "get into the mode" of looking for shots to take that would look good in B&W.

Is that a "nice" way of saying that these don't look good in b&w?

Not at all. They do look nice.

I inferred by your comment that you went out "in color" and discovered only later that you have some nice B&W conversion shots.

Ron, I like these!

For #1, I almost want to see just a tad more of the ceiling?

Okay, got you. Was worried that I wasn't seeing these good.

I have been working on my b&w conversion post processing. I have used Nik Silver Efex Pro and MacPhun Tonality Pro to do most of mine, but I wanted to learn more about it, so I have been using PS and some youtube tutorials to spice it up and see if I can make my images look better.
