Tina,

Sorry, but I must get into my grumpy old man mode. Photography as an artistic medium has fallen prey to the same divisiveness as out political landscape. There remains a constant of thought among many that the only valid form of photographic art is B&W and color is only suitable for family snapshots. It's like an attitude that I remember form the fifties and sixties that the only paintings that are art are oil paintings, acrylics need not apply. Your sample is the perfect rebuttal of this foolishness. I hope I'm not stereotyping, but it would seem from the single photo that this woman is from a more tropical climate, and a culture that prefers colorful clothing and things. By removing the color from that photo, you have stripped away a good part of her identity. In color it captures the essence of the subject. Good work!

Bill

PESO:

Still scanning old Fuji RMS slides.  I thought I would prefer the B&W, but
in this case, I prefer the color:
