I have to be the heretic and say that I don't think the light makes them ideal candidates for BW. (Lower levels with a little less distinct direction and their natural darker skin tones). Mainly though I think both benefit from lighter rendering. There is modelling and sufficient detail there, seen when lightened (I tried globally lighter and they improve IMHO). For me they are too far into the darks so that hair and eyes detail are lost. Two more heresies; A blink of fill flash might have been good for eyes in squeeze and I bet that you would get more differentiation and engagement in colour in both. Were these converted or shot as BW originals? I'd be happy to read dissenting opinion (and probably will!)
