The high ISO did make it a bit noisy, but that can be fixed a bit in PP. It seems to need a little more contrast - I love BW conversions for this type of shot, but this one looks a little muddy.
So how can I make it less noisy? I know I should turn down the ISO should I do this in manual and if so what would be a good aperture? Or does that really matter on a shot like this.

As far as contrast how can i fix that? Should I sharpen and stuff first before turning to BW or is there a different way of using BW that would turn out better see post above for how I did it.
