The tilt bothers me (using distort would solve this) but that has nothing to do with B&W :)You have the range from deep black to very white in the clouds. The mid range echoes the fog over the water and pier. Very nice.

I like the contrasts here in the glass. The roofline bothers me and there is too much white outside. Cropping the top section off (the one with the circle) helps a bit. The fruit slices seem to dark and I would like to see more detail there. The reflections in the wine glass the bottom of the vase are the best parts of this photo.

I like this a lot. Perfect subject for B&W. I am trying to decide if I want more contrast - it seems to be missing something, but something small....

It just breaks your heart....

Great subject, but no Wow - it could use a little tweaking.

Using B&W here intensifies the emotional impact. Not too keen on the gold ring though :(
You are right about the sweater muckpond. I might not have noticed that if I hadn't read your post.

This is perfect and what sets this apart, are the central stamen shadows!!

Th bottom lightness bothers me and I would prefer it darker - but then I like a lot of contrast in my monos :)

They DO look like spacepods! There is a lot of contrast here - perhaps a bit too much?? This image is perfect in B&W though!

The sepia is just wonderful and the only problem I see is an exposure one - the face it too dark, while the rest is a tad overexposed.
