I'm using a B&W filter with Saturation, Hue and High?Low Key Adj at center. Contrast is bumped up to +2 and Sharpness is bumped up to +3. I love the way the image turned out but any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Nice composition. What would this picture look like in colour?

I would increase the contrast to get darker blacks. The crop is a bit tight - I would like to see the edges of the structure.

This... as a general rule I find that B/W needs much more contrast than color.
Also, the lower left corner got burned pretty bad.
Go back there if you get the chance!
