B&W attempt #1 :-) (56k warn.)
Hey everyone, here are some photos I took this weekend. We were in a bit of a rush, and couldn't stop and take more time. What do you all think? Tips?

What no Space Needle? Seattle is a great city, I have some relatives there and would love to get there again. I still have one of the original wooden toy space needles that were made for the expo but delivered late, in my office as a reminder of my visit. As to the pics, I actually like the squirrel shot, but in BW I think the strongest potential image you have there is the last BW one because of the lines in the image. The others lack impact and structure to my eye. In that image you might try cropping out the sky to focus attention on the diagonals. Please excuse any comments as I am only a novice myself and you asked for opinions, but that is what I would do. Contrast might be tweaked as well. You can see I am full of opinions today!

Hi rebel.
(all opinions for what they are worth and because you asked  )
I think your BW conversions are letting you down here. They are a bit lacking in punch. There have been some threads discussing BW conversion techniques - do a search and see what you find. I think contrast is important - a BW shot which has all shades from black to white generally looks better than one with various shades of mid grey**. Not always easy to do while retaining detail etc, but a good objective ** At the same time low key and high key images also look great, but they generally have some part being either black or white, with a limited range from that starting point. cheers Greg - - - - D200 etc
