You either love it or just don't understand it! Why black and white? Fireworks are supposed to be color!

When I was "developing" this image it just called to me to make it more dramatic by taking all the color out. I am the only photographer I know of who will take a black and white photo of fireworks and perhaps you're thinking. "that's for a good reason." I still maintain that this image needs to be black and white and it's better because of it!
