Mark, while I think the subject deserves a try in B&W, I'd stick with the color version so far. Maybe just a little more contrast, as there is almost no really dark area in the test.

Hi Mark: I'd have no problem with you posting any of your renderings of this shot if you have a minute & if you don't mind. I've never used the BW-Plus plug-in for Photoshop. Can you use that with Elements 5?

I'm pretty sure it will work in PSE 5. Try it, it's free.

Its only downside is that it only works with 8-bit color, so I usually get the tonal range of the image in the ballpark in color and 16-bit mode before doing a conversion. Often I'll make several duplicate layers of the original image in color and apply a different BW-Plus filter to each layer. Then I can compare the result quickly by turning off all layers above the one I want to see.

With this conversion I couldn't decide between the Green filter and the Yellow, so I used both, with the Green on top and set to about 60% opacity (I think):
