I know the whites on rug are blown but does her skin color look ok? Want to print some of these for family. Thanks for any input!

These are uploaded from photobucket, not sure why they are so big and they look so soft.

Hello,

You have very nice images here but the colors seem, to me at least, to be a bit off. I hope you do not mind that I took a couple of minutes to do a few adjustments to give you an idea.

Just normalized every thing a little bit and tried to get rid of the distracting variations in color in the grass. I also tweaked the skin color a little bit. If I were to be doing this for a print, I would work on separating her from the background even more so that she "stands out" against it and is without a doubt the main focus of the viewer. I'd probably work on the skin color a little bit more but I feel this gives you a fair comparison.

Hope you like it.

The skin color in the original is off. The edit is much better.

Great shots but I agree the skin tone is off, looks to have a blue tint. work on the skin tone and you have some nice pictures

I would say it's too cool but the blanket is blown as well.

Photobucket is not the best place to host your photos if you're going to post them online. They are notorious for making them look soft and just all-around off looking, not sure why. Flickr always gives a good result, I would give that a shot.
