I really like this picture, but I want to redo it because I find the lighting is too flat and I am not sure about the WB.. I tried to fix it in RAW, but it seems no matter what the skin color seems off. Anyhow, what do you think about it?

I think its absalutely fantastic im no expert but i really like this shot

It really is a gorgous shot and nice pose. She has quite a bit of red in her skin on my monitor.

I think you did an excellent job! I played around and made it "pop" a bit I hope you don't mind.

Looks like maybe Color Cast. If it is color cast WB won't fix it. Since you shot it in RAW, try adjusting RGB Color balance to see if that will fix it.

Thanks guys! I agree NewbieXT it was a really weird color cast, I will have to play around and see if I can get rid of it with masks on the skin, cause it seems anything else I do the whites start to get really blue

I don't know if this is any better or not

This is a cute image, but the red cast seems to dominate...

Lovely model and I really like the pose. I also seem to have problems with certain images when trying to adjust WB in my raw converter. It could become very frustrating at times

here's my quick go at it:

I used selective color in CS2. Decreased magenta, decreased yellow, and increased blue by just a bit.

May not be much better, but I tried.

that looks fantastic KansasMom!! Thank you, I will try it when I get home! I want to print this one for her mom if I can make it look like that

you're very welcome! Feel free to email me at home if you want more help. I'll be here all day.

It's a very cute pose, and idea. The main problem I see is that it's flatly lit. There are no shadows to show 3 dimensionality. One problem a lot of people have is too much light bouncing around when doing hi-key and pastels. The way to get around that is to use a grid spot or a snoot on the key (main) light. This should have had about a 3:1 ratio.

I went an entirely different direction and hope it gives you some ideas.

You could try natural or faithful in picture styles or maybe set wb to flash
