View of Western Bay in Black and White.

I don't do b&w photography, but I believe that in b&w photos, textures, contrasts, and shapes are truely important for success. This photo lacks the tone contrast and is fairly plain. The only "dark" portion is the far right item.

In color, this photo might do better, being more a landscape panoramic shot.

I see the point Vadim, B&W needs more contrast to be interesting.
