Achromatic Photo Fun

Achromatic = without color, monochrome = one color

After trying to shoot the city again three days ago, I came to understand why there's such an emphasis on contrast in black and white photos. The scene was plenty pretty in color, but without color it came through in merging shades of gray, with the sky as a flat pane. Yesterday, there were some clouds above the scene, making the sky a much more dynamic part of the whole. That, and shooting the sun reflecting off the water is a PAIN when trying to balance that with the fore/backgrounds.
