Some of my B&W work.

[SamSpade1941]

Some of the images I have shot digitally and then converted in Photoshop to Black and White. When I used to shoot film I almost always shot Black and White exclusively because I loved how rich it felt. It seems much harder to obtain those results for me in Photoshop than it did with film. But I am working on it.

I like it, but number 1's background is bit distracting

Great set I love the last one too. For my B&W images I use silver efex pro 2. I think that will solve your problems. It works with photoshop. Would strongly recommend you try the free trial.

I went and down loaded a copy of it GrameReen and I must say thats a very handy piece of kit to have indeed. I love the way it works. I have been playing with it most of the day now. I think it is something I may well indeed purchase in the next few days.

Glad you like it. There are some pretty good presets. I like using the high structure/high structure contrast. Looks like you have been creating some good edits, very nice.

I like the third one for the composition and the toning. It's just asymmetric enough to be interesting. I might tone down the highlight on the left edge a little above the middle.

 

[SamSpade1941]

Thanks Ken I appreciate the kind words and the help I will work on that.
