When you shoot for black and white, you challenge yourself to remove the distraction of colour. These include colour casts and differences in colour temperature (ambient light sources), as well as specific colourful elements that are strong, which may reside in the background or take away from your story.
Monochromatic imagery forces you to focus on form, shape, and texture while composing. If your emphasis is on making colours work together, these elements are sometimes overlooked. With black and white, distracting colours are now translated into shades of grey that add to your image.
When you remove colour, the emphasis shifts to the other compositional elements of the image. These include lines, shape and texture, contrasts and tones. With this in mind, it is obvious that not all images will convert well to black and white. So, look at all the elements and deduce what else you have to work with, besides colour. Many times black and white helps you develop a different perspective from what you are used to seeing, which nurtures your photographic eye.
Something about the variance of tonal ranges, rich blacks, and deep contrasts appeal to us psychologically. It creates a connection that makes you stop and pay attention to what is being presented.
