Thumbs up Practical B&W

Here is the same practical assignment as yesterday.
This time as it is supposed to be in B&W.
I do not know if these B&W conversions is correct.
I just set the contrast to 30 and applied noise reduction.
I also cropped the pictures as i did with the colored versions.

Wish I could do this sort of thing Christo. You did a great job here and the young lady and her family will be pleased with your achievements. The 2nd shot has a perfect balance of light to dark that creates a unique portrait. Well done my friend. PAUL
