Color is Too Obvious

color street photography Seattle ERIC KIM

Just got back from Seattle, and when reviewing my photos:

The photos I shot on monochrome are far more interesting to me than my color photos.

Why is this? My simple thought:

Color photos are too obvious.

Monochrome abstracts and makes more artistic, colors show reality as it is.
