I like those. I frequently take pics in colour and then mess with them to convert some of the image to mono(sometimes all of it).... I think it lends a bit of 'drama' to what might be a very ordinary shot.
It certainly works better with some pictures than others.

I was thinking though, aren't we a bit perverse?
My dear old dad took pictures at a time when it was only B/W or sepia.
He spent hours and hours with special photographic pencils trying to give his images realistic colour.
