I can feel the color as I have taken many similar images for the same reason you did. I can "see" the light gold of the leaves just beginning to grey out and fall eventually; but I think most will not see that in B&W. If I have a camera capable of color then I have the choice of how to present the feeling i have; with a monochrome that choice is gone. The kicker is that more and more of my images translate into B&W as I both simplify the message and listen to lectures by Ted about avoiding color unless color really adds to the image and the message that it needs support with color. I think that the new M10 monochrome is in my future but I will be forced to walk around with two bodies as sometimes color needs to be. In any case thank you for posting your images, all too few of us exercise our shutter buttons publicly.
