Hi Marnie Great composition - 5-10 minutes well spent!
The conversion does seem to lack a bit of tonal range but I'm not sure how PS Elements carries out the conversion and what options it provides. There's an excellent article on B&W conversions here that you might like to look at. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/color-black-white.htm I quite like the "Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer" method. It's very easy and allows you to quickly scan a wide range of conversion options.
