Great light as I see it. The dark background, being foliage, often goes dark in a B&W conversion unless you raise the green channel luminance (analogous to using a green filter with B&W film). OTOH, overly strong green filtration produces skintones that resemble a bodybuilder's fake tan, so you need to use some caution.
