bristlecone
I'm just beginning to work on b&w conversions. Input on this one would be welcome.

Basically looks OK, but it just seems to be over-processed. Too much compression or sharpening? Try again.

Looks pretty good to me aside from editing/compression artifacts.
I like the angle and composition you chose.

The tree trunk could probably stand to have a bit more contrast applied to it to bring out the 'vintage' of the tree some.
Also feel that a subtle vignette would work well here.

Looks like a good subject, but i agree the pp looks funky. Did you try using the red channel to keep the sky dark?
