I had a lot of helpful comments about this photo being over processed, which it was, and several comments wanted to see it as a B&W. So I decided to post the B&W version. Comments are always welcomed.

Wow oh wow...what a great change..I think I would darken it up some and do a little dodge and burn work,and you have a
winner!!
Darkening will tone down the background that is competing with the subject!

Oh, much better than the color version!

Instead of darkening the background, I suggest softening the background a bit - rendering it less contrasty.

Have you tried following Russ's 'clipsoftips' master tutorials .... If you do you will see your black and white will take on a completely different look yet again.... Something to play with....

I am aware of Russ's tutorials and hope to one day have time to work with them. But right now my work load is so heavy I don't have much time to spend learning new processing techniques.

I really like the b&w version better also. I have been following, but not commenting. Nice photo!
