B&W, at least to me, adds a sense of mystery. That's the best way I can put it. Color, while being nice for a lot of photos, doesn't seem to do justice (in my eyes) for intense portraits or nudes. I look at a B&W portrait and wonder what's going on inside the subject. I look at a color portrait and don't wonder at all about any part of the image.
Not exactly eloquent, but I hope you get the drift.

It was stated by someone yesterday that b&w is nice for the "abstract" character it provides. I use b&w for the sense of texture it provides. http://www.photocritique.net/g/s?zzoQwn-p13184249 http://www.photocritique.net/g/s?zzohTn-p13184249 (which is why I also like larger formats for color) Why do you use b&w?
