Colorization critique

[OnAir]

I'd love to see your judgment about this:

The original is a very stylized modern photo to begin with. I think you've retained that in your selective colorization effort. Nicely done. I wouldn't say the latter is an improvement though, as I think the original has more impact as pure B&W.

Oops, hit submit too fast. Meant to continue by saying the original, apparently a fashion ad draws attention to the coat. Your rendition brings more attention to the model himself, particularly his face. If that was your intent, then you've succeeded.

Thank you for your reply I was just trying to find out, if it could be used in fashion shooting, as colorized picture has a little strange appearance, slightly different from the real color shooting, like it was used in movie 'Aviator' by Legendfilms .
