One Four Challenge December; Pt4 Black and White

The One Four Challenge is a weekly challenge where you edit the same image differently each week for one month.
Throughout the month I have been editing this picture with many different HDR processes. Left with the last edit of the challenge I chose not my favourite image but the best process and turn the shot into a black and white image.

To be honest I tested each process with black and white and chose in the end 32bit processing. It lent itself better than the others because it had so much more tonal information I toned the image with a self made Daguerreotype preset and then tweaked the image using elliptical, gradient and selective adjustments.
