Colorizing Lighting

Using colored gels on your flashes could help or hurt an image. I believe that my sample below is one that color lighting deters from image greatness. Posing aside, an environment's lighting can help draw better connections between the subject and background; however my choice of color for the background flash makes the environment seem unnatural. The viewer's eyes would focus on the background first rather than the subject. After this shot, I decided to forgo the colorized lighting and use plain bare bulb lighting. Deciding which color to use provides more options but makes it much harder to achieve image greatness.
