Hello, Dave ... Perhaps you might start by telling us what conversion processes you've been using. There are numerous methods and techniques available.
Also (and please take this in the spirit it's intended) your B&W work generally is pretty poor. I don't tink you really know what good B&W is supposed to look like. There are numerous styles that have been used over the years, ytet your work has always seemed lacking in shadow detail, contrast, and tonality. Can you get to some galleries or museums and spend some time looking at good, exhibition quality, B&W silver prints. Maybe see a style that's similar to what you want yopur prints to look like, and then work towards that objective. In addition, it may be helpful to know what editing program you're using. I seem to reacll that you're using more than one, and maybe it would help if you chose one and stayed with it, learning it well and mastering the features you need to get the results you want. There's a program that I've used that helps with B&W conversions that's really good - best I've found on the 'net. Go to http://www.theimagingfactory.com/ and download Convert to B&W Pro and see how you like it.
