#2 is a treat! (y)
 
A good start. I hope this continues.
 
Number 2 works really well because of the composition and careful use of DoF. The others are just a little too much like a record shot of an abandonned object.
 
Great idea. I like it well done. Number 2 for me too!
 
Seeing as everyone else seems to like number 2 best I'll say it's the one I like least. It's more about the technique than the subject. The others are starker and more suited to the theme IMO.
 
I like abandoned and decayed photos, one is my favourite here, but they are all good

Wonder what the foliage covered ones would look like in colour, mould and mildew can be very attractive.

Just my view now, because things are old or decayed doesn't always mean they have to be in b&w

Thank you... Hopefully I find some inspiration... The plan for this project was to get me out an about more and look for things.

Thanks, I get what you mean, I thought I would include it to the project as there are wild flowers growing on/around it.

When I saw the colour versions, I almost thought the same!
A second look reveals the lack of tones and details once con-
verted.

Are you able to explain a bit more? How could I improve?

In this specific scene, it is the tonal values (chrominance) that
are not correctly translated.
May I direct your attention toward the leafs at the low end of the
keyboard, for example, between your converted version and my
suggestion.

To get a good monochrome image requires that the conversion from colour to mono doesn't directly convert by desaturating the image - different colours should appear lighter or darker, even if they're at the same tonal intensity in the colour version. Different B&W films respond to colours differently, with some having a more even response and some being more blue or red sensitive. This can also be partially controlled using coloured filters in from of the lens, so that an orange or red filter will make greens appear almost black (as in your original shot) or a green filter making them light and darkening reds instead.

What Kodiak appears to have done is to alter the response to the chrominance - the coloured luminance - of your original, so that the leaves are lighter and separate more from the other tones.
