Thanks for looking and commenting folks. Gene, I put that in about whether
BW would be better as a joke. The primary reason for the photo was the
bright colour with the new purple/red hair bright, red lipstick (put on for
fun), the purple T shirt and the green foliage behind.
You might see too that I used a silver reflector to overwhelm the shadow
and it added that gloss sheen to the lips too.

If I have to be serious, I do like to shoot BW portraits too, but this one
was never meant to be ;-)
