It's not just B&W, but you might try OPIC (Online Photo Image Critique) at http://w3.one.net/~davev/photo.

If your photos are on a website, you can go to Black and White World's URL Review Forum.

If you don't have a web site but want to show individual images, you can put some shots up on Geocities, Tripod, etc...places that offer free server space...and link to them by using the appropriate html to call up the image within the message textarea.

Hope this helps!

Just a word of warning re- posting your photos to 'free' sites. While scanning the net recently I came across a warning about this subject that pointed out the dangers of loosing the rights to your work if you sign an agreement that hands your work over completely to the 'free site'. Apparently it is all a legal loop hole as a small clause in the agreement document. Once you loose the rights to your work, the photos can be used as royalty free or even sold and nothing comes back to you. There are many excellent sites and a few to watch for.
