The photograph itself is just a lovely choice. The subject is beautiful and what you have done to manipulate the image is amazing. To be honest i think it looks better this way.
Peace:)

Actually, I prefer your version Andrew, it has more mystery, more allure. I like the red, nice switch from her turquoise scarf, it would have been so easy to keep that. you did a superb job on this, outstanding !

This is actually really good! I like it but the title dosen't seem to suit it so well, maybe something like "Little Red Riding Hood" or something close to that would do it better justice. The girl in this picture is very pretty too, you did a really good job, favorites material for sure.

Andrew, nicely done. This isn't that I think it will make this piece any better I'm just curious to know if, when you were editing this did you try it with her lips in red also...I would love to see what that would look like. Good job with this edit and better job making my head spin wondering...dAVE

Excellent work....This is a superb idea for a fashion style shot, and the way you've executed it is impressive...I think the red toning on the headwear is a little loud,though,and this unbalances the image slightly as the headwear beats the model for attention....On the whole a tremendous piece of work...All the best...Mick

I like what you did. It certainly looks cleaner, and that is an improvement in this case. Most people generally keep their icons on the left hand side, but often mirroring an image can drastically change the presented attitude of the subject, so you probably made a good choice. These one-color images are always refreshing - keep it up!

Very nicely done, although I agree with lanjockey that the red is a bit "loud", perhaps a little less saturation would do the trick.

And also, thank you very much for the link, the pictures of this woman are beautiful! :)

This is a very intriguing manipulation Andrew. I love the black and white with just the one color. It speaks clearly to the viewer, but is done very tastefully and looks classy.

Just had it in the VB and I must say this is brilliant, I do prefer the B/W more than the colored one, because the negative space makes it more peacefully and the color red is given it a warm feeling/look.

well done:))

Love the look and the color - doesn't look like a Seductress to me; more like someone with something on their mind causing them to think hard before acting.
