Trees by the River

I love this...

Like Doug... I too well remember the world of B&W.. and the sheer JOY of the colour when it became affordable.

Colour is a HUGE conveyor of emotion.... so very little is "improved" with monotone.Just my opinion.

The detail in this.. compared to the lack of it in the B&W.... its a no contest... this is stunning.

Thankyou for indulging me !

Any time, ma'am.

Seems appropriate to quote something I wrote a couple years ago:

"Before I went digital, I'd pick a film in early January and use it pretty much exclusively all year. Every three or four years that choice would be to shoot in black and white, because monochrome forces (permits) me to think about form and framing in ways that color doesn't encourage (YMMV, of course; this was my project)."

I elaborated a bit on the thought, rather differently, here.
