It is a beautiful black and white photo, harmonic tone, correct exposure and nice composition.

The photo a bit soft, did you apply soft lens effect? And, the contrast might increase a little bit. btw, what filter effect u applied on this photo?

3# limkimkeong my b&w photo is processed by DxO or Lightroom, it not just change the setting to B&W. I will apply filter & grain to it.
To me, filter is the critical role in the b&w photo. How to bring out the "colour" in b&w photo, it depend what filter you apply to.

B&W photo is not a colour desaturated photo to me. If you got time, please try to apply different filters to understand more.

Nowadays people might not like digital "noise" on photo, but I love b&w grain. The grain make the photo look realistic to me.

I learn from nowhere, but learn from mistake. So, keep trying u will know what is best to you.
