Ok say it in a broad Scots accent if you like, it may seem better.
Whilst I personally like content of this image I am not happy with the tones and all the reds so any advice tips and critique would be more than helpful, as it always is mind you
Thanks
Dianna

I can't advise on tones, but can say it was the strong tones in it that attracted it to me. I think this image would do well in mono also, because the composition and subject are so appealing.

The second version just uploaded after I submitted this. I still prefer the version with the strong reds.
Try a straight B&W conversion or perhaps sepia.

PS or put it up for modification and see if anyone can help
basically I changed the hue of the reds, de-noised, created a second layer and changed in to mono, roughly erased the areas to be in colour, then went around any spills with a desaturation sponge, flattened, gave a yellow boost, created a dark vigenette like look to focus more, and finally increased the contrast.

This is a delightful image, and I have learnt a lot from all the help and comments. Mod no. 4 for me.
Great capture. And very interesting reading all the comments. No. 4 for me also.
