Thanks Al. I've always loved black and white for many reasons - one of which is, as you say, colour getting in the way of what's otherwise important - tone. I actually think that colour gets in the way most of the time. Obviously, there are those startling scenes where colour is everything, but most can do without it. My father was a president of a large Sydney camera club for nearly a decade and his specialty - for which he won hundreds of awards - was black and white. The proper darkroom we built at home always smelled of chemicals because we were constantly developing both film and paper. I guess my appreciation for colourless presentation comes from this.
THis is one of those "colour" shots...
