Just started B&W and I wonder if I am on the right track

my quick attempt

Oh my, that is just so much better. I am so pleased you gave me something to understand what it is I should be shooting for. I am a very visual learner and this is what I needed. You brought out the brick nicely and the shutters have much better contrast than my dreadful black black. I appreciate every ones time to teach a novice. My husband saw nothing in this old house he thought would make an interesting picture but I saw differently. Thank you, thank you.

My LR4 attempt after tweaking the levels and tones and removing the stick. And bumping contrast quite a bit.

Thought I might share another shot of this house, this time the front. Don't be to critical, I really like this one ;)

Wow, that is so clean but raw at the same time, yet another take on my vision. Do you guys see things in black and white because I always thought there was something wrong with my rods and cones. I look at perfectly good color and wonder what it would look like if I took the color away. And yes, that stick vexed me and I shall learn to get rid of stuff like that if it kills me. Thank you.
