Yesterday it was raining on and off so I decided to take my flash and try to get a few shots. I like the look of smoke and steam when there is a lite rain.
To me, number one is the best shot. I think it looses something, impact, in the B&W conversion. It goes flat. Three & Four are beautiful. But one is mighty!

Thanks Pandacat for looking and for the nice comment.
I agree with Panda that the B&W loses something, which is surprising.
Have you tried other types of B&W conversion?
I don't know much about post software yet, but I've been using DxO's Film Pack recently, and it has a lot of variations for B&W. Also selenium and a few Sepias, of course. You might want to try the demo.
I ran your first pic through Film Pack, and made a bunch variations with toners, positive & negative film, and various grains. A few of them are wonderful, even from the source posted-jpeg. I have about 15 meg of small tifs you can look at. Send me your email address and I'll send them to you.
