First Attempt at Black and White Photo

Hi Everyone

This is my first attempt at black and white photography.

Would appreciate any feedback or criticisms.

Thanks

I like it, just a shame youve still got some motion blur on the horses..

Agreed, either increase the blur to show movement, or less to be completely still.
Could porbably increase the contrast too, to make it a bit more gritty.
Is this the b&w from the camera or done afterwards?

Post editing in photoshop, thanks for the feedback will have a play about.

I think you could certainly push the contrast more, and have a play with the shadow and highlights too, make it really pop.

I see you have a tick in your edits box, so had a quick play, hope you don't mind...i'll take it down if you do.

Shame there's still some motion blur in there, else it'd be quite a nice shot...

Dont mind at all mate, after looking at your changes I can see that I could have pushed the boundries a little more.

Thanks
