'Who is afraid of Red, Blue and Yellow' comes to mind with the last one  ;)   

Great series, Armando, like also the reflection of the man in the first one, and the red shirt contrast in the second.

You proved your excellent eyes yet again, Armando!  "Red" is my favorite, but the others are no inferior.

Fascinating series. When I looked at #2 briefly, it really felt like she is standing in the middle of a desert. :)

Great series!  Red is my favourite - the naturally almost monochrome background and the red top make a very dynamic image.

When I saw the second image for the first time, I thought you desaturated the colors except for the red in the post process.  That should be wrong, and the image is pleasantly deceptive!

The last two are very well composed and intriguing.
I think the first could be cropped on the left and upper part. I hope you don't mind my sugestion.

Museums are quite ideal where the stage has already been set and one waits for the interaction of undefined elements to enter the scene, 1 and 2 for me.

Thank you for all the coments , really appreciate them

 These were shot with the V1, and are already somewhat cropped, going further will compromise IQ

Excellent ! Number one - #7179 - is my favorite. Always an excellent sense of composition.
