Manually balanced levels in PSE5 to give a more natural look. Your original seems a bit too red. Cropped to reduce file size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Feb 08, 2009 14:19 | #6 My attempt at an edit. Changed WB and added contrast with levels and, yes, cropped a little.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

I think all it needed was a contrast boost and a bit of that yellow-film look removed. The eyes are a nice touch, too. It was a very flattering and well done portrait to begin with; just needed a tad of processing to bring out what you saw originally, I'm sure, a very beautiful young woman. Just a word when shooting portraits; less is better, try to isolate the woman to make her the predominant part of the image; the crop was necessary and helped remove the busy scene very well.

silvex Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 07, 2009 02:33 | #13 Yes I agrree the WB is off. If you shot it RAW open it again and click with the color dropper in her eyes (the white part). Then add contrast and sharpen it.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. .
