Hi Jmschrei thank you for the feedback. I think they are dark too so nice to know I am starting to get my eye in. I have never "burned" or [can't remember the name for the opposite] but I got pretty good in manipulating video I look forward to my skills with stills. I am already starting to see the benefits of shooting in RAW (if I had done so)... Watch this space I guess :)

I definitely have that feeling "I am not worthy" but I suppose the thread is also to comment on B&W techniques, composition and so on. So any comments on mine are welcomed and feel free to criticise. For example, too dark. I did think that at least this top pic good lines and contrast and to me certainly looks better in B&W than in colour. I used an IR filter effect from in the camera (K-5). I actually tried messing about with layers on the original image in Photoshop Elements to re-create and then tweak the same effect - but after 30 minutes I wasn't even close, so I stuck with the Pentax processing.
The second pic was also processed in camera, the original had almost no colour in it anyway but I really liked the cool blue filter. Again I liked the lines and contrast. I think I could have cropped a little foreground, ideally framed a little higher.
I certainly think B&W subjectrs make it easer to get started with B&W photography; visualising how colours become greys I think is much harder.
