It is a SOOC Jpeg, to my own recipe. You may try it for yourself if you are a Pentax user. So, select B&W profile then press your info button. You will see the parameters you can change for yourself. The parameters are:-
Filter Effect - Green
Toning - Neutral
High/Low Key Adj - minus 2
Contrast - Neutral
Highlight Adj - minus 4
Shadow Adj - Neutral
Sharpening - plus 3
TBH I may have under-exposed this particular shot, but that us a matter of taste.
