Perhaps it might be good to quote your own (two) comments in another thread: "In b&w, all you have is tonal contrast, no color, so more tonal contrast can really add to your image" and "One has to be cognizant of 'color' in b&w"
In this conversion I miss the contrast, it is all quite gray. In addition, I find darkening the background and thus freeing the head quite amateurishly done. In addition, I find the dark spot around his right shoulder very ugly and also the limited space at the top and especially at the bottom (cut off beard) disturbing.

Yup, he is quick on all that. People may want to reconsider his direction. I know I did a long, long, time ago. I hardly post an image anymore because of him. I have to be able to objectively view the imagery. I can do that better today. I watch you (@gk fotografie ) close because you make images as opposed to taking them. He must be teaching and practicing taking.
