Thanks, cjc2. I don't think there's a simple answer to your question. All my B&Ws start out as color, and often the color appeals to me. But then I convert to B&W, and that frequently appeals even more. And sometimes a color shot will remind me of a snapshot, whereas there's something more artistic about the B&W. And sometimes.... Anyhow, there are a lot of different reasons for one way or the other, and the particular reason tends to depend upon the particular photo.
Don't worry, I don't have a simple answer for it either. Using you photo above as an example, I wonder what the woman's dress looks like, and what's in the photo in the window, and the color might help my mind with that. I completely agree, it's totally a personal preference thing. Thanks again. Any others?
