Jack,
Sorry, I am not overtly thrilled by this particular object, but I
understand why it may have caught your sight. And I see why you wanted to
make it B&W.
But I think the B&W conversation can be improved:
At least on my (recently calibrated) screen, the background in B&W version
appears to be a bit too dark. I think the photo might benefit if before
converting to B&W (whichever way you do), you'd reduce the brightness of
the blue channel (the sky). This would work as a polarizer, and would help
that "contraption" to stand out more.
After that I would also think about the deep shadow ares in the middle of
the central "pole", and in the stick that goes from the center to
about 7:30. I do not know what would work best: 1) to increase the overall
contrast (to blow it somewhat out of proportion), in which case those
shadows would be completely black or 2) fill them in.
It depends on what effect you prefer.
I suspect Ann may have done some of that (especially the first part) for
you in her rendtion.

Spent some time dealing with B&W halos.
Am, also, including a full width color.
Comments? I'll accept, "forget it!"
