While browsing through some other people's posts on flickr I got inspired to work on some shots that I thought might look good in B&W, for which I must say I have a real fondness. Many people who know me and comment on my work often are drawn to color. Color can be too easy if you ask me. It is easy to wow the viewer with highly saturated color and here in the southwest we have a big edge. The landscape is so vibrant that you don't need to resort to post processing tricks to get the blue skies and rich earth tones. It is all there for the photographer.
Black and white on the other hand IMHO relies on subject matter, composition and the ability of the photographer to capture the vision that motivated the photographer into making the shot.
