Thank you all for the comments.
I can't take credit for the invite, a friend of theirs put that together, I just dropped the photo in...to show to you. It does help the overall effect, as the red scarf is a bit much...when the photo is viewed on it's own.
The contrast looks pretty low, here on my monitor at work. At home, on my LCD, it looks better (more contrasty). I really need to get monitor calibration and probably a CRT monitor at home.
