I think depending on the back round, subject, and conditions a black and white rendering of a subject will produce a more dramatic image.

Image Description
This image was captured at what I think of as the “Icelandic Iceberg Bay.” I really loved capturing several images of, admittedly small, Icebergs at this location in Iceland. I think that, as is often my preference, the rendering of the back round to total black with the white contrast of the iceberg makes this not only a more dramatic image, but focuses attention to the main subject and its reflection.
