Obviously a black and white picture is a color picture... just without the color. The point is that turning a color photograph into black and white is an art that takes practice. It's not something as simple as clicking "make black and white" in a program. If that is what you are doing, then you are doing it wrong...Enjoy my friends.....Not black and white may deny.....No harmful, horror, weapons, nude, injure, animals suffered PLEASE.
