Black and white photography is exquisite. The eyes get to appreciate the form more with the distraction of whether color tones are correct or not. B&W helps put the focus on the textures and shadows. I like it. This applies, to me, to any Bonsai photographed B&W.

Better you than me. My theory is that any day it's not 10 below is a good day.
