More b&w conversions.

After talking with Derrel about b&w conversion and going over a few others, I thought these looked really good conversions.

Nice series, Ron - the first one for the bicycle shop is my favorite here, composition wise. As far as the conversion goes, they all look very nice. A little vignetting around the last one?

Thank you Terri.

Yes, the last one does have some vignetting on it.

Like the first one but feel you lost too much of the white wall's texture.

Thanks ceeboy. I fought with that a little and brought it back to where you could see the lines but at that time of day, the sun was coming through really bright in that area, so I felt like I could leave it to add to the contrast.

Nice Ron! Isn't B&W fun

My fav is the first also, Ceeboy, I see why you brought out the detail, it's certainly there to add but in this case I think darkening those areas took away the "clean" and "pop", for me the original brighter white serves the image better here.

Thank you PR. It seems that I am wanting to do a ton of b&w lately. I don't know why. I understand that most of the street stuff is better in b&w, so maybe that's it. After this photowalk, I seem to be very interested in the street stuff now.
