Post your best Black and White Photo

CPL's can be a little tricky Rich, I think a number of tests would be a good investment towards better IQ in the long term.
Exposure can be a very subjective thing, to my eye, this looks pretty good, specially in consideration of the environment.

Having just viewed the Lightbox example, I see what you mean.
While your images of birds on poles are truly captivating and good tools to evaluate tele lenses, my personal interests probably lean more towards your example above.
I'll add some more shots from the weekend.

Thanks Steve, Your input is greatly appreciated. I will take your advice and run some more tests. It's always nice talking to other photographers with similar interests!

Tried to muscle my way into my own photo, looking a little shadey here. Is it a self portrait or a landscape, or just plain B&W.

That's cool. You know it is a really good shot when the first thing that comes across your mind is: "I gotta try that".

Really nice subjects for black and white on this page. I really like the rough structure in the stairs and the driftwood.

I found this cliff in Capitola:
