Cute girl!!!! Exposure also seems a little bright... Canon 7D - XSi 450D gripped/ EF 50mm f/1.4 / Tamron - AF 28-75/2.8 XR/ 85 1.8 USM/ 380EX flash

They're screaming white on my monitor. My junk

The green is evident but it is reflected and where a very blurry grassy (?) area overlaps her hand in #3. I brought it into Photoshop and did a swatch test on other areas - nothing. Grass will reflect when you are this close to it. They are overexposed however as has been said....not by much. +1 ^^^^ Dave

I will fiddle a bit more with the exposure in the hot areas. Now that I am looking for it I do clearly see the green tint on her face. I'll edit a bit more and post back. Andrew

May 15, 2011 10:44 | #10 Ok dropped the green levels and tweaked exposure slightly on these. These look great on my screens. I am still seeing a bit of green, but I agree that this is reflection from the grass, I did drop the green saturation a bit to lessen the effect. Better? Andrew

Just for comparison, here is my take on the changing the original compared to your edit. They are similar but it is getting down to subjective preferences - I think mine is a tad darker and I attacked the greens and yellows.

Regardless, looks like your monitor is tweaked to perfection. ![]() ![]() Hey thanks, I like your edit, it's warmer than the original, more pinks and reds. I find that the 5dII raw files are a little on the cool side, I am constantly having to warm things up. Now I can just be annoyed with the grass on her face, haha. She's only two and a half so I was lucky enough to get here to pose like that for all of 20 seconds. Andrew

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P. More info | May 16, 2011 06:42 | #14 Those look pretty good to me, but you're on the verge of blowing out the highlights on her face, so I'd stay away from Av, even if she'll only pose like that for all of 20 seconds. FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

May 16, 2011 07:04 | #15 Agree with PhotosGuy re exposure, you're a little over on the exposure. Re color balance, it's difficult to judge the effect of monitor calibration because of variability in judgement of accurate color rendition. This particular scene is problematic since it has the problem with green reflection affecting color in subject's shadows. In that last side-by-side comparison the one on the right is a little on the magenta side and the one on the left is a little too green, so I'd pick somewhere just to the left of middle between the two.
