Comment by Bruce_the_Robert:
I'm working hard at B&W, too; I did about ten conversions over the past three days (after I decided to join this challenge) and have not posted a single one (I have posted others, obviously). I agree there are better ways to convert than in RAW; I have links to about ten different methods somewhere, just pm me if you want them. The alien skin film filter plugin is nice for seeing what can be achieve quickly (and for conversions in advanced or expert editing). For this image, the border isn't for me (it competes too much with the image). I think the image itself is not half as bad as you think. There's some interesting lighting, and good angles and lines. A bit more contrast (as nick suggested) would probably help to give it a bit more impact. I like your work, Roz!

I really like this, Roz, it just feels a little flat. I hope you don't mind I did a very quick little edit on it just to give it a little more contrast.
Did a curves layer and some dodge and burn to bring out some of the textures on the bark. :)

Cool processing that adds so much interest to the image! Framing really helps it to stand out too!

Unique processing, I think I like it. Love that lighting too, and perfect clarity throughout the scene.

this is like an artsy billboard. like you can tell that the picture outside the window is overemphasized - and what that does is add drama to the pic. her profile view adds the extra wow to the pic.

Another beautiful image Roz, love the dof on seagull, whilst the other creatures legs are still sharp but not to the extent that they distract from the shot

The tiny gap between the seagull body and the leg furthest to the right is wonderful

Might have been worth burning the background just to the side of the left legs to take away the 'ultrasound' type effect (But certainly should NOT be cropped out as you would lose one of the legs if you did

V nice (again!!!!)

Cute shot I love how the focus is on the bird and everything around is smudged out. I think the high key works with this shot as well
