Here's a B&W shot with a discouraging story:
I took this shot with a Casio digital at EPCOT in 2001, and at that time I was in the habit of printing shots I liked and pinning them up on the side of my cube at work.
I printed it in black and white because I thought the color in the kiosk was really distracting from the geometry of the tent:
I got not one comment on the composition, good or bad. The only comments I got were "why isn't it in color?" :thumbsdn:
I got discouraged about posting any prints after that.
