Okay, I'll go on a tangent, instead of photoshop recipes, I'll show images from the film world, and you can use them as a visual cue to start messing around and forming your own filters... note of course that the LIGHT and LENS and EXPOSURE that the original image was shot in may have much more impact than most photoshoppers think.....
When I was a B/W film freak, I'd develop lots of 120 Plus-X, a now discontinued Kodak 125 ASA film in Diafine, a developer that would actually compress the highlights and broaden out the midtones, allowing for a slightly more contrasty "pushed look" but in a way that may sound contradictory, also more gradated highlights.... hard to explain, but images often shot in VERY strongly contrasty mid-day harsh sun could have full range detail, not just the usual highlights OR shadows....
I didn't shoot these, but these are the sorts of looks you can get:
also, if shot on a shady day, using a contrasty lens, you can get images like:
