My first post! I have been debating between color vs monochrome version of this photo. Perhaps you guys can share with me your thoughts. All comments are welcome and appreciated. Thanks.

Are you kidding me ??

Color all the way. How can you be the queen of hearts with no red?

Beautiful shot ! Nice first post.

The mono is nice but the color one really pops. I love the background but I would darken the tile to her left (right as we are looking) I like the lighting and processing. Really nice for a first post.

You can't turn that red dress black and white....color for sure! I'd back off of the black clipping though, you are losing quite a lot of detail in your shadows (hair and clothing).

Thanks all for your votes. Color all the way!

@Lisa, I agree with you about losing details in the shadows in the mono version.

Very nice image & welcome to FM I also love the color, although I think B&W would be really nice if you chose to process it differently.

It's hard to beat red and black.

Have to agree with Lisa on this one: Colour in this case but i really think it is possible to get quite a bit more out of the B&W rendition. No offense.

Great shot, nice model and costume :-)

Good work

Color all the way. The crop on the couch is a little tight for my tastes but you obviously know exactly what you want and how to get it, so please don't stop what you are doing. Killer work.

Colour wins .. with Lisa's caveat.

To my eyes, the regular square background seems inappropriate and out of place with the lady's wardrobe and design of the couch. Might it be worthwhile to replace the background with a different one?

Color is far superior, but have to agree with tonyfield's comment about background. Not sure it was best choice for this otherwise outstanding image.

Color all the way. Her hair blends too much into the background otherwise. Plus you cant go wrong with red and black

If I hadn't seen the color one, I'd have been blown away by the monochrome. However, I have to agree with the consensus here. The way the red accent's it is quite stunning.

Good work Mate.
