Indeed. We see in color, so color is obliged to be 'realistic' to a large 
degree. We don't see in black and white, so its more free to be artistic, to 
represent what we want it to, not what we see. I often make 'corrections' to a 
color image, but 'enhancements' to the same image in B&W. If dogs did 
photography, they would be obliged to make their B&W realistic, and would be free to be 
artistic with their color! <G>
