Nothing more to add sorry, its a very good conversion with excellent exposure, a very crisp and clean shot :)

This is an excellent B&W, Ken - it's very crisp. I love the lights on the side of the building, which are the only indicator that it might be evening. Fun stuff to look at, too.

Crisp black and white on awnings and wall lamps (and snow laden chairs and tables) draw me right in. Double espresso and a small whipped cream covered pastry, please.

Looks cold and like everyone is inside b/c of it. A nice cafe scene, even if it is cold.

Nice sidewalk panorama. I like that the striped awnings add so much to the overall tone. I like the lights on the wall, too.

I like how the architecture makes this look so nostalgic. Do you have any more pictures of the ice sculptures? I think those are so amazing -- and such a treat for a Texan who never sees it cold enough to keep ice in tact for 2 minutes.

Love the clarity and contrast which made the image jump right off the page when I first looked at it. I am unfamiliar with the steps for Transform Distort and the Nik Efex B&W filter. What are those?

As deb said, looks like a very warm place where you could enjoy a cup of coffee. I like the clean look it gives, probably the snow helps too.

I like this for the snow on the tables and benches. Looks like such a warm and inviting place and somewhere one might go for a latte or an espresso and sit out and enjoy the passersby, but not this time of year! Still looks warm and inviting on the inside. Very good tones.
