Yes nice playfully successful BW rendering. I am using Topaz B&W adjust plugin for some of my B&Ws. Lots of presets as starting points but also lots of sliders so you can salt to taste. 30 day free trial and I think $30 on sale.
I noticed you are using TAV with the K-5. Thats the setting I have been using for most of my outdoor shots. The results have been good. For me it is sort like Auto mode with manual control of both aperture & shutter. Happy shooting.
