Thanks for showing us the colour ones ...... I actually think you were right to choose the Mono .... there's more of a pull towards the face with the mono. In the colour version the powerful red and blond tones compete. But its a striking effect .....
I wonder if you should reduce the red channel strength on her skin tones? .... I think a purer white tone would contrast better with the red surrounds. The warmer tones work well on the beach shot though.

Do you find 1/15s risky for movement? I would have gravitated to something a bit faster, even if that meant upping the ISO to 200 or 400 on the K-1.
Great results, don't get me wrong

Yes, potentially, I went with the flow of the shoot and didnt notice the shutter speed dropping, fortunately the technique side of things is reasonable along with the Pentax in body IS
