The color version is very striking.  It can be found by the link on my home page or at this link to my portfolio on ImageBrief.com:

http://www.imagebrief.com/photographers/john-271#/portfolio

There are about 1300+ mostly color photos also on that and the succeeding 33+ pages together with about 13,000 pages of photos for commercial licensing.

Have a look at both and let me know which you prefer, please.

Surreal and funny. Why the face of Woody Allen keeps coming into my mind?

Cheers

Yes, this indeed is surreal -- the main reason it's posted.  In fact, I had the idea to post it two weeks ago and couldn't find the original or a worked up copy and spend that two weeks searching.  I finally found it.

Frankly, the color version is better, much better, to my mind, and I invite a look at my home page where it's on my ImageBrief portfolio, as the costumes are in red and the facial coloring is 'just right'.  I think you'll enjoy an improvement; this folder I am mostly using for b&w despite its name, or I'd have posted that here which creates a dilemma when I get a very good photo that shows best in color.

Link to color version is posted in comment above.

Why Woody Allen?  Maybe the glasses (they're orange, just so you know), he's a comedian (Woody Allen started off as a comedy writer for Your Show of Shows with  Sid Ceasar) but that's NOT his former wife's daughter next to him if I may be a little snarky.

Thanks for the comment; best to you.
