Hey guys, can you please give me your honest assessment? Is the WB in this photo too warm for your liking? I set it to 4800K in post (and slightly desaturated), and to me it looks the way I wanted it too, just slightly warm skin tones. What do you guys think, too warm, just right, too cool?

I think it looks fine. Besides, it is all in how you want to portrait the photo to your clients, and whether they will like it (which, I am sure they will). That is how I see photography. How do you want to show it to someone else. What works for you will be a big pile of **** to someone else.

[jdizzle]

Your new sharpening technique may work on this one, but when I see over-sharpened photos, I usually see a "glow" around objects.
I know that sharpening depends on the actual photo. I'm just testing for how much should be applied. :)

How do you want to show it to someone else. What works for you will be a big pile of **** to someone else.Thanks Harm! You are right, when I think of it as you said, I feel better about it. The couple did love the pics and took the time to write a thank you.

I am probably too hard on myself thinking if even one person doesn't like my work, then it's not good, but it's true I can't please everyone.
