Thanks Kadie

they were moving about a lot so the composition was a bit of a problem but I was glad to catch them at all

for the bl/wh conversion I used Jasc psp9 software

into 'adjust' , 'colour balance', 'channel mixer' , set to 'monochrome' , 'output grey'
then red/green/ blue /constant/ slider used carefully and slowly to get a result preferred

finally maybe finish off the tones to your personal liking with levels and brightness /darkness sliders
only then resize the photo to your requirements

hope this helps
