@ Super silhouette payne, you've brought the sky out beautifully!
And as for posting few pics, its a pain processing RAW once you start shooting on a SLR payne

Good stuff Payne!
I thought 'Holy Place', 'Boats on Miramar 3', 'Miramar at Dusk' and 'Locked Faith' were excellent.
Like the concept behind 'Locked Faith'. Seemed like my kind of stuff.

My friend's grand piano.

Intriguing shot as always Delirious, a bit more polished then your recent ones.
I'd guess he adjusted the Curves or Levels first to get the high-contrast look and then converted it into BlacknWhite.
Converting to B&W is not just about removing colors (Ctrl+Shift+U Desaturates the entire image), but by getting the B&W to your liking. The most useful method to convert into B&W in Photoshop is to:
1. After adjusting the Curves/Levels of the image and finalizing the look, go to Layers>New Adjustment Layers>Channel Mixer.
2. Click Ok there to open the New Channel Mixer layer window.
3. Here tick the Monochrome tick-box at the bottom and the image will immediately turn Monochrome (B&W) with default values.
4. After this you can play with the values of Red, Blue, Green channels to achieve the final look you want.
5. Before you start this process, you can always go to the Channels Toolbar (beside the History or Layers toolbars usually), and turn off RGB and then turn individually Green, Blue and Red to see what type of B&W gives the best look.
If you guys want I'll put in a small article in the Guides for this.

Actually the N73 wasn't mine. I upgraded from a w550i to the w960i. SE for life!
As for my 'PS secret', lol, sometimes I do what payne said, sometimes I use some actions downloaded from deviantart. Sometimes I modify some actions, do this and that, until I get the look I desire. For this pic, I also used some blur (lens blur/gaussian blur) to create some more DOF effect.
@payne, do create the guide! Black n' white is really beautiful!
