someone said “a color photo is about color, a black and white photo is about everything else,” or something similar, but I can’t find the source. With the subject matter and the title “gREy” a quote about smog and soot would also be appropriate.
You’ve just reminded me of something my nephew told me years ago, Sherri. He said the best B&W images start with color because there’s more information to manipulate when you do the conversion. Fascinating…and yes, perfect for your image here.
well bill burt was likely correct.
The steam coming out of the stack gives some movement to this but it’s the birds that I especially like adding both movement but almost as though asking a larger question.

A good choice to use monotone… It does add to the subject here.
Interesting thought – I must try it out

it’s weird, i sometimes get different pictures in feedly for your posts… well, i like them both 🙂
Beautiful tones captured in this B&W composition!
ThiS image would almost be the same in colour.
Have a nice weekend )
With a good processing, a color photograph can indeed become a beautiful black and white.
A superb composition with a great diagonal of birds .
What a good thought

I like the tones throughout the image. The subject seems to ask for B&W.
I tend to like color but some shots just beg for B&W.
i do like the straight on proportions and upright lines all around in this industrial landscape, sherri.
I love b&w photography. It concentrates the mind
Un fumage des tour industrielle ces soieaux en diagonale et la ligne électrique quel ensemble
Belle soirée
