This works well in b/w as it helps to isolate the subject from the background.
You have a nice tonal range in the image as well.

Very nice calm looking situation. Nice Capture. I might have brought the levels just a little bit on the bushes behind your subject to throw a little more emphasis on the person as a whole. The bright legs and arms stand out nicely in this shot. The dark top goes well against the bench but seems to disappear along with the subjects hair around bushes. Still an well composed shot.

Beautiful abstract shapes and color. I like the wide ratio of the photo and the choice of the slight green blending at the bottom of the center.

Nice "human scene" and use of B & W. I think it could be improved with straightening and more of a central theme of interest. No real focus for me.

To my eye, you've taken this slightly too far in contrast, and certainly in the decision not to rotate the shot to keep the bench horizontal. There are areas where the light is entrancing - around the left leg of the bench for example, but otherwise it seems to bluntly a dull portrait.
