A photo taken of Sydney harbour bridge produces a picture which gives a pleasant feel about it - quite calming, with the only person evident seeming to relax wih us in the view. Much of the atmosphere is created by the colours, especially with the blue sky. It's relaxing!

The original bridge photo
But what if we get rid of the colours and just have a black and white photo? The result is quite different! The scene becomes more dramatic, as though something may be about to happen, without knowing what that might be! Much of that drama is created by the back lighting! I doubt if the sitter is feeling quite so relaxed in this scene

Black and white bridge
It's amazing what a difference it makes when getting rid of the colour!
