the b/w looks awesome!!! if you play with the sliders a bit in the channel mixer you'd be surprised what the differences will be. for mine i usually use the start with the following r 65 g 35-45 (personal prefrences will do) b 2 constant +2-+4 i constantly play with the r and g slider to get the right tones, again those settings above are just a starting point, final adjustments go from there. also i convert to lab color and play with the light and dark channels but this will alter the color version by giving it a greenish tint, i only do this when i know the shot is going to be b/w. hope this is of assistance!!
