This is the kind of image that lends itself well to black and white. Abstract and expressive, without the complications of color. I am not sure if you are shooting in black and white, or if you are shooting in color and then converting them to black and white. I advise the latter, because it is usually more productive to put content ahead of form. If you shoot in color and the color distracts or dilutes -- then convert it to black and white later. And if you shoot in color and the color captures the flavor of the scene, at least you have not lost that flavor forever.
