Danny - The image is full of detail, maybe more on the left than right. Processing look fine, though my comp instincts would like to be a little closer tothe rushing water. Maybe make for a more dynamic shot. Hope you're feeling better.

Hi Danny,
Great B & W conversion. I agree with Harry's comments about being closer to the water. It looked like a fine day to be out!. I hope you are feeling better. Have an awesome day.

Couldn't go any closer to the water, would have lost the rock up front which was looking at me with its evil eye

Danny,
It seems to me that b&w works pretty well in direct light light this; revealing nice contrasts and tonal range. At least a better impression than I think color would have in this situation. I like the flow of the stream pulling the eye in to the scene, and so the composition works very nicely.
The scrub and "stuff" above the stream in the background is the only thing holding me back in this one. There's just a lot going on back there and not much to settle the eye. Fortunately though, there's a nice cloud to frame this at the top.
Processing and detail for the web are excellent.
