I hope you don't mind Paul, if so I'll take it down straight away.
The background seems less distracting now the portrait has a natural draw to the eyes.

Paul, can you try it using layers ?
Make a lighter conversion for the eyes then place this conversion over the top & use an eraser to delete the eyes, revealing the conversion on the layer below. Obviously the software will need layers functionality and a variable opacity eraser to soften the blended areas.
Just a thought..

There's a little too much contrast in this one for me Paul. It must have been a deliberate step by you as we've all seen great mono conversions from you, but I fear you've overcooked it very slightly.
I can barely differentiate the Iris' from the pupils which is a little off putting, as is the stark contrast in the background, maybe ease off a touch to get those rich tones you are already adept at.

It looks long Scottie, but is it fast enough ?
What you want is the Sigma 200-500mm f2.8, better get down the gym though.

Sigma 70-200mm HSM - I'm aware of it's pitfalls vs the Tamron but it's being offered to me at a very attractive price & a free trial, so I'm going to try it out & see how it goes. This bee shot looks ok to me

Not yet. I have been given the very kind offer of using it for a few days before I make my mind up. So I'm hoping for some decent weather over the weekend & early next week so that I can put it through its paces.

Mike, I'd be interested to see the 60-250 coupled with the 1.7x if there's no damage risk.
