Just two, black and white

I normally am not a fan of black and white. I love these shots though, and the color cast was so bad from my shitty scanner that I decided to try greyscale to save them. I am new to converting to black and white, these look off to me. They were shot on Fuji NPS 160. I did the conversion in Lightroom. Advice please.

Two really good shots, however I think you should have brought out the shadows of the bars in number two a bit more.

It's all foreign to me.

Number one is a little gray, there aren't any true whites or blacks. I know lightroom has all those black and white adjustments, try messing around with them some more.

Number two is better.

the first shot is a litte flat, try adjusting the contrast a bit more to pull out more shadows to accentuate the details.

the second shot seems pretty good, with nice tonal range.

Yep, gotta bring the shadows out in number 2. They make the photo.

I'm always one for more contrast.

I shoot photos.
