[Leica] Venezia, Lady in Red (shoot in 1999)

[red735i at verizon.net (Frank Filippone)]

For use as a magazine advertisement or a billboard or fashion, the full
color image is too full of (other) color distractions.  The  blue tarp in
the boat and the colored clothes of the people on the bridge are just too
distracting and subtract from the main thought... Red.

Compared to the B+W only image, the B+W image loses its punch without the
red, but it is a good image in its own right. Probably better without the
blue of the tarp.  It is a more universal interest image. 

I do not think this is the "average" picture.  I think it is both special
and specialized.

For my money, I would go with the altered reality...
