Hi, This looks to be a great photo to work with in B&W. I agree that the conversion is heavy-handed, both in the sky as you noted and in the contrast and tonality of the rest of the photo. Keep working on it and you may end up with something that's outstanding.
If you want suggestions from others on the list, post the original color pic. Channel Mixer, BTW, while a decent tool to use for conversion, is limited in what it can do. Depending on the rendering in the original color photo, other techniques may be a better alternative. CM, however, is a good place to start. Is this a film or a digital image?
