Anyway, post similar photos, guys.

If someone with a 'good' camera took this picture, would it then be interesting?

No.
First pic is horrible.
Second pic is better but was really inexpertly converted to B&W from color.

OP is very good in a way I can't pin down.

You realize plenty of people shoot small sensor digital, right? Like Alex Majoli?

No.
You can't pin it down because it's shit.
Boring subject, generic in every way, uninteresting exposure, etc etc.

This picture would actually look BETTER with the DC Treatment of faux-vignetting, oversaturation, heavy burning, and USM.

I would like to know this too.
I see people on here shitting on folks for converting to B&W in Photoshop but I can't tell what makes a "good" B&W digital file, or how to get one.

Can someone explain this?

i think he means unneeded black and white?
as in you made it black and white for insta- art
if not hes a fucking retard because the only other way to do it is to shoot in black and white which is a dumbass thing to do

Run an Internet search for ""black and white" "channel mixer"" and you'll have your answer.

Sorry man, I want to buy a good camera, but here in South America it's really too expensive. And I only got this shit Nikon cause it was a gift from my grandmother.

Anyway, I don't have even a computer good enough to run PS, so I don't even work on the pictures.

what I do on my black and white picks, is channel mixing, slight contrast adjustment, selective colour strengthening blacks and highlights mess about with shadows and curves and levels. experiment. sometimes a picture looks good over exposed with tonnes of contrast, somtimes a simple desaturate depends what mood you're trying to convey the biggest tip I can give to you is look at other peoples work you like and ask them how they do it :/
