The red's a bit bright in the B&W for my tastes, I prefer the color one.

The Red is far to bright for the black and white. This photo just isn't a good selection for this type of editing. Maybe with a different picture of your wife, but not this one. Try the technique on something else and see how it comes out. This picture just isn't doing it for me.

yeah i was just kidding about the spaghetti thing. i understand what you are trying to prove. what i was trying to say was that in all of the pictures i have ever seen where the pic is converted to black and white, and some history brush work is done, the colors always look fake. i think it is an optical illusion, for some reason the colors look oversaturated, even though they are not adjusted. I think the picture would look a little better if you had just brought her natural lip color through (with no lipstick) as the lipstick makes it look fake even though it isnt. her natural lip color would be less dramatic and may look "normal" to people. i realize for this shot it isnt possible though. great looking wife and great shot.

I've done a couple of "selective none-desaturating" shots Some of my earlier work, not fantastic but shows the concept of red lipstick b&w photo  And a pic of them lips closer in full colour a few months down the line:
Canon EOS-1DSmk3, 24-70 F2.8L, 85mm Prime etc etc

Yes, seems as if this shot doesn't work for the majority of the people who commented on it. Isn't that great! Thanks for you comments. Ken
