It seems to me that some photo's look better in Black and White then they do in color.
It gives them a bit of a historical feel.
So, heres a thread for Black and Whites
These first three can,t hold up against Ansel, or Bradford Washington,, but here they are.
Lets see your Black and Whites.

JH, thank you for sharing...I agree, B & W can make photos more intense. Color is a distraction sometimes, like wrapping paper. B & W gets down to shape and texture, the substance, the immediacy of defining lines. Great photos, keep them coming!

I always felt that desert towers looked better in b&w. Here's a few obscure ones...

Some nice shots here - what I can see of them, anyway. I went and took a shower, waiting for the page to load. It's now about 1/4 way through.

Just joking,,, close enough.
Bob, I think even Bradford would of been proud of that last one.
Couple more to keep it going.

Ya... a few of those we're "saved" by converting them in to "B&W". The sepia was a slight side effect.
