Looks great in B&W.  What a beast!

Thanks, Scott.  I never add noise to shots, but there was some banding that resulted from the vignetting I added (actually a few passes with the burn tool), and I had read a while back that adding a bit of noise was a good way to get rid of it.  I tried it out and voila - the banding just disappeared.  Plus, it gave the image a more textured look that I thought was pretty cool.
