Tried a new moonlit night sky black and white conversion

What do you all think of this? I went up to engineer pass near Durango CO on a night that had ample moonlight. The exposure I got gave me a nice saturated blue sky (almost like it was daytime) but with stars visible (you can see a non black and white shot in my portfolio). I then upped the contrast and converted it to black and white and I really like the results, but I'm curious to see what others think of this approach! Anything you'd do differently from shooting to editing?

Bald Eagle, Eagle Creek, Alaska

We were hiking in the rainforest of Southeast Alaska. Eagles were EVERYWHERE, though at a long distance, along this creek looking for salmon.

Falco Wyomingii

This little bird is a hybrid of a Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird and the fastest animal in all of creation, and a Gyrfalcon.
