This is the headgates of the Augusta Canal, a wonderful place to be creative. I did a B&W conversion here because the color version just left me flat. Let me know what you think.

This looks like a fun place to explore, but the photo isn't doing anything for me. I'm no expert in B&W conversions so I don't know if its because there isn't enough tonal separation or there's too many competing elements. Sorry!

I subject seem to be interesting but personally I don't like your processing. It looks too much like HDR.I think the black & white conversion was a good idea but I would try a different approach. But this is just me and my personal taste.

It does have an HDR feel and overall seems too bright. It does look like there are lots of possibilities here.
