Sometimes it just happens that way. Something about the photo says black and white. Maybe it was all of the competing colors in the background. Maybe it was the classic feel I liked in this photo. Maybe it was converting it drew my eye right to a little boy's anticipation. It really is just a feeling sometimes.

When do you feel compelled to convert your photos to black and white?

Oh my look at the intent look on Ians face, I can just hear the wheels turning "I am going to learn to do that"
Love U
What an interesting post Katrina. Sometimes the emotion of the page needs to be the focal point rather than the color. That's when mine seem to turn into BW. Your shot is a great example of that.
I have a habit of wanting all my photos in BW. I almost did my entire 2009 POTD book in BW, but I changed my mind several weeks in. I figured future readers might better appreciate color.
I see better in black and white. I know that sounds weird, but there are times when color gets in my way of feeling the photo. I almost always convert my favorite photos into BW.
This is a great question!
We must have just missed you there! Love reading your entries this month. You have inspired me to do POTD. Let see how long it will last. One day at a time for me!
