These were taken the other week, when I posted the Friends Daughter images

Finally got round to editing our 'crew' :)

I know #2 looks a bit overdone on the red, but I havent gone back to re-edit it yet

Thanks for looking

They are great expressions.
But you have color balance issue.
My favorite tool to cover this is the channel mixer.
the reason why I like it is because when you have the total of all your new channel at 100%, your neutrals remain neutral and your modify only those colors that are on problems.

This is my play on your last image, which is greenish. To remove the cast I added a simple channel mixer layer with Green = 70% green + 30% blue. because blue is darker than green, this actually decreases the green, but the blank on the frame remains unchanged thanks to the 70%+30%=100% trick.

same recipe for #2, which is too cyan. Green kills cyan. So I want to add green. The recipe is Green = 80% Green + 20% red
Because red is lighter than green, this actually adds green.

The result was too much to my taste. So did I set the layer opacity to 80%

Thanks for the edits, and for explaining what you have done

I edited them whilst tired, the 3rd image looked fine last night, but today I noticed the green cast, that shot was taken with her on a fairground ride undercover with different coloured lights shining on her, I knew about #2 but it was too late to try and think about trying to edit the image :)

I am still learning mostly with colours on CS3, but then again im still learning all aspects of PP as I am very much a novice

Cheers

Steve

Very lovely photos. I do agree there are some colour balance issues, but otherwise they are lovely.
