B&W Conversion

Still pretty clueless as to what constitutes a good black and white conversion, anyways, here's one:

Looks pretty good to me and not too sharp. I think your B&W works well - generally I think that you need an image where the different elements can be separated by their tone rather than their colour to make B&W work....

Maybe you're right - It might be just a little too sharp but I love the way you've captured the bond between granddad (?) and child. The expression on her face is priceless

Nicely done. I like the composition, tones and textures.

It looks as if you shot looking downwards, which often does not work, but here it seems just fine.

The over-sharpening seems bad on the edges of the elder nose - I assume this was just sharpening for posting on reduced size for this forum.

Thanks! Yes it was a sharpen for export default setting, I don't usually use it but figured I'd try it. I was shooting down your right, I just was snapping away as they interacted, which didn't yield too many keepers, but I did like this one a bit.
