Thoughts on Mono set

not sure if you were looking for a "retro" look but thats what you have achieved. if not try moving your "blacks" to the left to achieve a better black and less grey hth mike also use the tone curve. hth mike hope you don't mind i had a little play with the last shot to show what i mean.(if you don't like it its gone) b+w conversions are not as easy as you may think.;)

Thanks for the feed back much appreciated, as regards the blacks I've purposely mashed the blacks by adjusting the tonal curve up in the shadows, not to everyone's taste but I like it at the mo.
 
in your original post you said "Just getting to grips with lightroom and my processing techniques"

Sorry if I wasn't very clear, I've not long started using lightroom I used to use photoshop and other peoples actions for my PP, but recently started using lightroom creating my own presets/style , because when I used photoshop I used to struggle getting the images looking the same consistently, finding it much easier using LR :)

Just lovely. I can't stand kids in general! Horrible squeaky things that spread diseases but those are cracking shots.

HA! That did make me chorkle!

I think these images are great. Love the processing, right up my alley these are. Very nice indeed! :)
 
I really like the processing - gives these a retro feel without looking too mushy.
