Exellent job on the dress but the cock-eyed door frame and the 'Grey' carpet spoils the effect. The tree has lost it's colour range, no red etc.

Very vibrant, excellent! But the colors are a little saturated. What you might try is putting each color on a different layer and experimenting with various blending modes, rather than using just one for the whole thing. I have found that the Color mode, while excellent for many things, is rather limiting if used universally.

Thanks for your comments, guys.
Doug: I agree about the carpet and the tree but what do you mean by "cock-eyed" door?
Cvandever and Eightlegs (are you a spider or a scorpion?): yes, there´s something wrong about the color. I´m using 2 screens and, in the one where I´ve been working it looks OK but in the other one (the one where I opened my browser) it does look too saturated. I´ll make another version but switching monitors.

Very vibrant colours, very, very nice!

I love the pink dress!

...Beside what everybody else has pointed out already, I think that the 'blacks' are a little too flat and black ... and I 'd try to enhance her features a bit (eyes, nose, mouth) as they are faded in comparison with the rest of the picture ..

Good picture. I don't understand though. What do you mean you replaced the red channel with the green one? I'm new :-)
