  I love the comparison that you did and must say I enjoy the black and white version a bit more. Either way, I love the simple way that her character is brought out. She has beautiful eyes, your treatment adds to the feel one gets. Got to love a woman with a whip. LOL. A fantastic real life character work of art my friend. Love it.
Have a great day.
