Color Evaluation

Recently I have been introduced to the work of Helmut Newton, who mostly shot post-war fashion photography & died in 2004 in his eighties. I enjoy his ideals of bringing a dark artistic side into his fashion work.  He did a lot of ambiguous & narrative themes which involved eroticism, as well as a lot of nudes.  Most of his work is in black and white but there are a few in color.
In this particular photograph there is an overall green cast, not just including the green surroundings, but there skin tones as well.  Also the highlights and shadows are clipped losing there detail, yet I enjoy the look and feel it gives to the photograph.  It helps progress the feeling of what is actual happening in the photo.
