You know, I like the idea of the #1 A, but if I used it myself I'd adjust the levels, to something like this perhaps:
edited & resized, original by @markkujantunen
'Cause I like a more striking look -- a personal preference, of course. That may leave BW feeling a little bit cold, but to alleviate that one can add a tinsy bit of sepia tone, if willing.
For #2, B) is probably just better overall -- too much information is lost as the rust-oranges have barely translated to a different shade at all.
That core "crisp" feel. Postproduction has its uses!
There's one more thing I'm reminded of, although you may be less interested, but for 2B -- if you lower the color temperature a bit the greens become more vibrant (I overdid it a bit here, let's say, for effect):
I do edit them but not with tools that are any good. I plan to buy a DSLR this year. I'll probably start using Lightroom. My phone camera spits out jpegs which is not that great.

Thanks a lot! Your version IS better! You're going above and beyond what I was hoping for!
In fact, I think your suggestions will help me a great deal at making better B&W in the future!
I added contrast to the B&W photo. It made a huge difference. I've received similar advice before. In B&W contrast is king.

Overall, if color adjustment is useful to you, try sitting down to mess about with simple postpro tools -- I'm sure you'll find more uses for 'em.

I think your black and white photos need more contrast. I like the shadows to be deep
B2. Guess because of the color...just looks better to me
Thank you.
both B's because i love colourfull photograph every color has its uniqueness and beauty like blaxk and white is doing in A's .... but i preffer B's
Thank you for your comment.
every photo is nice,its look like it is of village, but last one is better
1-A
2-B
I like the color in 2-B due to the contrast in the color of the leaves that can't be appreciated in black and white
I would go for 1B and 2 A without any doubt ;)
