When you consider that the title of the site is still "Caedes Desktop Backgrounds", most of the non-regulars, the majority of users by far, are still looking for backgrounds. I don't know about you, but I doubt I'd think of b/w as a good background, no matter how amazing. Sepia or something with a color cast is another story, though. Just trying to explain the lack of success (or perhaps issuing a challenge). :)
well, I'm currently pursuing a goal to have a successful image of every type (including outside of photography). I think it will be very difficult with this type of image. I understand that colorful images are much better for desktops. But I take the challenge!!!!!

I agree with you Anthony ..very unsucessful. But i also disagree with you Mike. I think that a good B&W desktop (depending on the image) can be just as nice as a colored or sepiaed image. (espeically "And the Darkness... By Mrwalow. and that is also a very sucessful image. But its debatable that that is a different story, i dont know view the image and see for yourself. its in my favs just to let you know). Think about it.. I guess of course that you dont have to agree.

I'll admit to overstating my claim, but I was only giving a reason they aren't as successful. And while "The Original Skyscraper" is an awesome shot, I haven't personally used it as a wallpaper. :-p

IAgree the bridge image is an excellent example of a great B&W image, But I feel that the image of the prairie church that camerahound posted and many of photoimagery’s images are quit good also. I think one of the key things forgotten in some of the attempts to create a B&W image is forgetting to ad defused glow to give more of a white balance and a touch of grain. Then increase the contrast a little to add depth.
