for me - the eyes being almost totally black stop this from working in B&W. Shame because otherwise it is a great shot - just those eyes!

Yes I want to try and re-do this one and see if I can do anything with the eyes. I wished I`d had my other lights with me and set up more but they were grabbed images with on camera flash in poor lighting.

The eyes are a little dark but that should be easily dealt with by manipulating the colour channels in a new bw conversion. Otherwise I think this is a very nice and sensitive capture.
