Watch your white balance...a lot of the images look a little too cold to me.

what screen are you using? i have looked at these on several different calibrated ultrasharps and they were edited on a MBP non retina. if they are cold its not by much lol. they look cold on my el cheapo staples non name brand screen but that monitor is awful anyway

They look cold/blue on both of my tablets.

well thats weird

They are a bit cold on my screen as well. Great shots otherwise,... well, other than that weird black object with the yellow and black strap ruining an otherwise perfect shot!

looks like im blind because i just dont see it being toooo cold. maybe a little. ill just convert to b/w and that will fix the color shift lol

I almost always shoot my white balance set on Shade to keep the warmth in the photos.

I downloaded one of your shots, pulled it into LR and used the eyedropper tool to correct white balance using the off-white trim of her jacket. Here is what I got - a bit warmer. That would be my choice of white balance based on what I am seeing on my screen.

im pretty sure they have already fixed the bad color correction in these photos. so thankfully im not going to deal with these shots anymore. im going to go back to not shooting portraits as this is rare for me and was done as a favor. first time ive had an issue with color correcting, probably due to my lazy editing on these shots of batch export selected shots with unsharpen/contrats and thats it. guess its time to re-calibrate and pull back out the film cameras

There nice shots but underexposed and need warming up a tad to give them vibrance !
