B&W Angel

I posted the color version of this awhile back, but I've recently started trying different B&W conversion techniques; thought I'd post this version here. C&C greatly appreciated.

I love the B&W however I would almost like to see a little more gloom considering the location.

so you would like to see the angel darker? or the background darker? Thanks for the critique!

I think having some highlights blown is ok but it looks like a majority of the angel is blown due to the harsh sunlight. It may work better this way if you intended it but please post some more pics of better detail in the angel if you've got 'em.
