wow so many comments, this is a very beautiful and melancholic image. Love the subtle use of grey with just a little red.

I love the balance of the black and white tones and just a little bit of red with the soft pastels in the background. This reminds me of of Marilyn Monroe. I think I will purchase this for a friend who is a big fan Of Marilyn.
