Really nice job, both with the compositions and the conversions. I agree that the 1st cat picture is more interesting than the second one (though I like that one too, but then I like cats). The pose of the cat, halfway through the fence, and the reflections in the metal slates that look a bit like the back end of the cat give the shot a kind of anticipation and mystery. I learned photography on black and white film, and still love black and white portraits, and the occasional landscape. I also make quite a few black and white prints with my Canon Pro-100, which does a great job of monochrome.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
