I LOVE color photos, but Black & White images are intriguing in their own right. They emphasize the subject and direct the viewer to see details less prominent in color photos. For example if you have a picture of multiple subjects wearing different colored clothing, this can be distracting. Viewing the same image in black and white eliminates these distractions. It makes the image designs and contrasts less prominent, lending to a more direct statement and intent of the photograph. Check it out for your self. I'd love to hear your comments :)
