Hi Shel,
I had to nod when I read Godfrey's comment. Love the shot, but I found
the BW conversion a bit odd myself. However, I find it hard to express
what that oddity cold be other than to say that it might be worth going
back to the channel mixer. Sometimes it's worth seeing how the
PhotoShop direct grayscale conversion looks and compare that to channel
mixer results. While you may not end up using the direct conversion, it
an sometimes help define a direction. I think that my impression of the
current rendering is that the whites all seem a bit muddy, yet there
appears to be almost too much contrast in the midtone grays. Perhaps
it's due to sharpening. I'm not sure where you might go on this -- if
anywhere other than where you're at -- but it might merit a second
look.

The rendering is a little funny: some of the mid-tone grays seem a
bit squashed
