I definitely find that some images, colour is really not the focal point of the picture - rather it's the different tones, the different textures, the contrasts between light and dark... That's when B+W is best used. I find it very hard to look at a picture and try converting it to B+W though....

I've found I'm desaturating colours a lot, but not always to a point of B+W, but just to get a muted look.
