    Tone-wise these results look excellent on my monitor. A bit more selective dodging/burning might help but all the info looks like it was captured.

    In general (very very general), IMO, I find BW best (talking non portrait) when the scene isn't too busy and has good shapes and forms to show off. Due to the lack of colour, these shapes and forms are accentuated.

    Imo, these 3 shots are okay in BW but they aren't screaming that they "should" have been in BW.
    Hope that helps somewhat.

    Thanks for posting it! I prefer this colour version as it shows the light better and the details in the bushes.
