I agree with the black and white edit gives more contrast. It highlights everything without the distraction that colors bring sometimes.
I like how you lazy photographer in your description of yourself. Your photos are awesome lazy as you are and I wonder how more impressive it can be if you are not lazy :D
Hahaha... I like that! I must try "hard working photographer" next... ;)
Thank you for your observation, I do think the same... Not sure if this fits the bill, but some pictures I feel come out stronger in black and white! I must apologise for the delay in replying you...
