This is my first attempt at a B&W conversion. I tried desaturating in PS but I liked it better as an RGB image. Your comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Nicely done. There are only two minor (and I do mean minor) things I find distracting. The first are the reflections; creating a white box around the object, with just a hole for the lens would take care of that. The second is the perspective; I have no problem with the straight on shot, but it appears to have the slight bow a wide-angle lens would give it.
Also, I am not certain what you mean by a shutter of 200.

But, they are minor quibbles.

| It is monochromatic but it doesn't quitelook like a b&w print. You can desaturate without switching out of RGB mode. Once it is desaturated, a nice way to achieve good b&w tones is by using the channel mixer in the level adjustment. |

I like it Rick,
love the endless backdrop effect, I have no experience of studio type shots like this ( must learn) and would not disagree with the other comments,
Nice one,
Paul.

I would give it one extra stop of exposure... Keep all the settings the same except the shutter speed... shoot it at 1/90 or 1/125 (+1EV).
