first real attempt at B&W - Snowdonia pics

I have been playing at monotone for a while on photoshop but never relly got the end result i wanted but i have been watching a couple of tutorials on youtube for B&W work and these are the end results. I would appreciate your comments and any processes / tutorials links for B&W people use.

Took these 2 pics in Snowdonia Wales

HTTP response: 504 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | PHOTOBUCKET ERROR IMAGE

Good job on both, but you could open the shadows up a bit and bring out a little more detail in them.
