I think you're doing good.

Personally, I think that everything looks better in black and white, as long as it's not a picture *of* color, such as my colorful flower photos or my beach photos.

Anyway, keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing more of your black and whites.

I like high contrast and your monochromes fit the bill. Good work, Alon . You may want to crop some of the excess dark areas ie the basketball shot.

If you have Photoshop 5.5 or above, may I suggest you take a look at Fred Miranda's black and white plug in (unfortunately it doesn't support Elements). They save a lot of time in Photoshop.

The link to Fred Miranda - http://www.fredmiranda.com - go to Software
or the direct Plug In link

A lot of these shots were edited using Fred's actions or plug in

I checked out your PBase site - may I suggest you change your CSS to Wedding - which is white - as your shots tend to get "lost" in your present CSS. Just my opinion!
