Very interesting to read you all, i think i feel exactly the same way about B&W. But i will add (and admit) i sometimes roll back to B&W simply because the color rendition is for some reason unusable. For instance the park where the first 4 shots have been taken has been surrounded by bright yellow construction trucks all around since last november. They are building many housing complexes all around making it virtually impossible not to see some of the construction equipment and/or debris in the shots. Some other times when shooting under dim city park light that color overcast is impossible to filter out (sodium vapor lights for instance) and then B&W will save my butt.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to comment, much appreciated :-)
