Darken the brightness and contrast just a slight, and it should be fine.
Usually, if you shoot in black & white, the camera does a pretty good job at finding the right mix of contrast and "color" in the subject. Only when you convert from color to B&W, then does it become a bit tricky to adjust.
See my pics on Flickr (or my avatars) for an idea of what I do (and most were shot in B&W).
Good job otherwise.
