Nice one, Lili.

I like that she is in perfect color balance, whereas everyone else is bathed in varying amounts of red. V as in very fine.

Helen and David, thanks so much!
In keeping with some of the discussions both here and in Sean's recent article I tried this image in B&W

Any thoughts?

I like both -- and it's a close call -- but I prefer the B&W version. It evens out the composition -- less V lady and more everything else. Also, the visual noise is less distracting in the B&W version.

David, thanks.
I feel that the Color Image has a lot of "Pop" and it rather has a 3d effect thanks to the layers of colors as one goes further back in the scene providing a form of aerial perspective.
However, that same veil of Color masks much detail, making it harder get past to see the forms and actions.
B&W, in this case, is more 'essential' laying the scene bare to the observer.
