I think the problem is that what I have seen here is that too many photographers manipulate a photo to black and white when it doesn't work or is not effective in colour and unless you see in black and white, it really does not bring out the mood either.
A photo that does not work in colour, does not work in black and white either. At the other end of the spectrum ( pun intended! ) a photo that is very effective in black and white is even better in colour.
