[Leica] The "problem" with the M9

[Frank Filippone]

I would agree with Steve except that I would make the entire image monochrome, BUT pop the red in her lips, and cigarette tip, and nails.   And I do mean POP.

I think it was Luis that several years ago did a similar image where there was only 1 element that needed to be pushed.... Maybe some girls' red hair?

I tis fun to be able to play with the image to the degree that one can with digital..... to alter a mundane image to be more eye catching... and I think this image has that possibility.

please consider remove all color except the cigarette, and have a look, ie no color in  hat, coat, lipstick, phone, nails etc

> the color of the burning cigarette is so distinct and lifelike, otherwise the dress adds nothing, and is actually counterproductive, ideally I would prefer (if I could do it, remove all color except that of the cigarette, someone else -if Lluis says it’s ok).
