It would have been a nice picture in COLOR!!

Black and white photos are DEAD, literally and figuratively!! The world in which we live is a world of colors, not black and white. There are the pretentious people who associate black and white photos with artistic photos but it is a false belief!!

You should get rid of these contests focused exclusively in black and white!! Or always ask to give the color version of the black and white pictures shown.

Black and white photos is like asking you to watch TV in black and white when we are now having TVs in 1080p color and even in 4K color HDR and wide color gamut!!

Or, if you don't like black and white photos, don't click the link. Perhaps stop and think other people do like them?

Personally - almost all photos look better in black and white. I'm sorry you feel so strongly about black and white photos, but you need to remember that everything isn't about one persons opinion. No need to be negative - photography is everything but that!
