This is my first attempt at BW post processing. Any suggestions?

Cool shot - I like the motion... B&W looks ok to me - you are a bit overexposed (all white pixels) on some of the image but they may be the case before your B&W and may not be a bad thing to some. I'm still trying to figure out good B&W conversion myself!

@Jason Kravitz: Hey thanks!
Yeah those shorts were bright orange before the BW.

Nice motion there. I thought converting to black and white was just simpling completely desaturating the image completely? Well I'm not really sure because I'm still a newbie when it comes to post processing :)

the B&W works fine here. it darkens the surrounding and makes the viewer focus on the object. very nice and sharp picture. does your camera has IS(image stabilization or something like that)?
