Learning about black and white


I'd like to learn to make nice black and white shots. I have to do it in post-processing - the camera doesn't have a B&W setting that I can find - so it feels a bit like cheating, but still, I find this a pleasing image. I'm also beginning to learn the value of the histogram the camera can show me, in getting a good spread of tones. This isn't a hugely compelling subject but the image has come out with good strong contrast, and something about the composition is nice, although I'm not sure what, and I think it still needs something doing to it (cropping, perhaps), but I can't work that out either. I'll be content with it as it is, though.
