Good B&W is all about lighting and shadows. A truly good photographer generally prefers B&W because it showcases his talents. Look at Avedon. We as a society have become so color-drenched, sometimes the true art in a photograph is lost in the "pretty picture" aesthetic. Interesting however is that B&W is making a comeback (maybe because of Martha Stewart, I don't know) but Kodak has introduced a B&W disposable camera. That should tell you something. When you see a really beautiful B&W, it will take your breath away. Color doesn't often do that, but you can't beat it for panorama.
