you've got to have or develop an eye much more sensitive to contrast as a B&W photographer. good B&W photographers are able to tune a shot with white balancing and exposure in addition to shutter speed.

i personally like B&W over color. but, maybe, as helvetica is implying, i just don't know how to shoot in color.

i dunno. for all the richness of color available, i still prefer a well done B&W. and that's a nice top shot there, helv.
