Not bad at all. I like B&W but it does take a while to be able to see what makes a good shot. I'm still learning the trade but it seems more rewarding than colour in many ways for me.
Either get some filters or use Photoshop's filters to darken the sky and get some detail.

Maybe you like this way of B/W converting:
1. Take RGB picture, then look at the single channels of R,G and B in Photoshop. (Strg + 1, Strg + 2, Strg + 3)
See : http://www.webmasterpro.de/design/article/alle-photoshop-shortcuts.html#goto-kanaele
2. Chose channel you like; sometimes Red channel is preffered for landscape (like red filter which increases the blue sky to dark levels)
3. Delete the others by drawing them into the bin
4. Alter the modus to grayscale
5. Then alter the modus to duotone
6. Select first tone black and second tone to blue or bordeaux or brown colour and see how the image changes
7. Alter modus back to RGB
... only my personal way to B/W, maybe you'll like it

Yes, ... that's my problem at the moment. It's diffivult to jusge for me at the moment what is a suitable B/W situation.
@Attila
that's a super link. Very well done shots for my taste.
@MF-addicted
that's so kind of you to tell your "secrets", I'll definitly try out what you describe.
What I did mysef on the shot was:
I applied a bit of a red filter and later a bit of a orange filter. a slight green filter to make the grass brighter and afterwards bringing more structure using a selection of the grass and make more contrast using Curves.
The trees and the house had some extra push-up with contrast too.
To finish I did a slight dark vignette over the image and a silver/blue tonig.
this is the "plane" B/W conversion of PS:
that's the result after all the photoshopping  :
Cheers
Tobias
