Lovely in Green - Maya

Shot her at a Canon event, struggling with at least 30 other photographers. These are among the best of the set, the event's last Saturday, haven't had much time to sort/edit.


Green dress and the leaves behind, her beautiful skin complemented with the bamboo bench, everything just works for me.
Thoughts?

Just whiten her teeth ...rest is great

Sermed, thanks for stopping by, and also your input is much appreciated.
Do you think I overexposed the skin in the first image?
Run it through Canon DPP, activated the Highlight Alert feature, and the only thing overexposed is the bracelet. Please advise am I doing this right?
Thanks

My biggest complaint is that the focus point is not on her eyes.

As for the skin tones:
All the green in the photo is going to throw off your camera's sensors and give the skin a pink/orange look in order to compensate for the excess green. If you shoot raw, you can adjust the photos to correct for the camera's inability to get the shot correct. You can try your hardest to get everything else correct, but the color tones will be probably be off if one color is dominant.

You seem to have done a good job, though.

looks bright, did you post process?

Great colors - luv it

As for focus, I used f/2.8 with 85mm lens. The model is fairly still, and I did tried to focus on the eyes, but it seemed to focus on the hair. (Front focusing?)
I also tried Micro Adjusting the AF, and -4 (which corrects front focusing) seems to work best. However, I set it back to 0 for this shot, knowing that the EF 85 is one of the best focusing lens in EF line, and afraid that my MA might ruin it.

Yes I shot raw, and it does have a pinkish hue, the best way to overcome this without ruining the greens is to adjust the WB, this shot is 4700K. Pretty cool, eh?

Any more thoughts? I really appreciate it.

Yep, run it through Canon DPP. Is it eye-blinding bright or good-bright or pretty-good-but-shouldn't-be-this-bright?
