I find B&W to be much more challenging than color. The right tones and contrast are sometimes very hard to achieve.

Hello Rick,
Here is a tip you could try as a different strategy to your pp toward B&W:
Your original RAW opened, proceed as usual to achieve natural rendition, and
then use the saturation tool to + or - given area as if you were the light engineer
on a theatre stage… convert and judge and tweak the rendition.
This brought me much faster to better results in certain approaches to B&W.
Have a good time!

This is what I am learning to do. I get everything the way I want in color and then flip to BW to do the final tweaking.

A closed elementary school in a small town in NJ. I noticed it after eating pizza and didn't have much time to explore it other than to stand in the parking lot. The gates were all wide open, so I figured they weren't trying to keep people out...

Cool shot Michael! I almost get a kink in my neck just thinking about how it must have been taking this shot! Lol 
It's been really nice watching you grow as a photographer and to see your images become much more compelling compared to when you first showed up here on the board. I particularly like this composition, Michael, great subject material with very cool lines.
