I played around with gradient maps for the first time to try and cut down on the variety of colors and give it a nice orange shade, to match the flower on her head. As an unexpected plus, the gradient maps really made the contrast on her pop, I really liked how it brought out the shadows on her.

It can have a similar effect as creating a Duotone or Monotone I see (image-mode-grayscale then duotone) I can also see where you're coming from with the unity thing. By changing the color scheme you've tied everything together quite nicely.

I had heard a lot of people mention them on a gfx board I'm a member of, and I finally just tracked down a tutorial. They can actually be fine tuned to do a lot of cool effects.
