White balance test

So I'm reading a book on lighting and trying to use a reference card to adjust white balance, two different experiments at the same time. But anyway, she didn't want to cooperate while I was taking shots but I kind of like this one. Especially the exposure and ....white balance. C&C welcome as always.

They look great and i like the pose on the first one. It is kinda different.

BTW Bad Iron, what book was it that you were reading on white balance?

I wonder why she is covering her ears.

The color and texture on the hair in the first photo is amazing!

Actually the book is on lighting - "Studio Lighting Made Simple". At the same time of trying new light setups, I was trying an experiment to adjust white balance. I was doing two tests at the same time which I guess normally isn't a good thing to do but hey. The process that I was mimicking (for white balance) is on Canon's web site. It shows using a reference card to set white balance, and then apply it to all of the photos taken under those lighting conditions.

Cute girls love the frst one
