Is it too much, or OK ? Should I tune down saturation a bit ?

Is there anything you would've changed ?

(By the way, the unnatural-looking break between the cloud (fog ?) and trees roughly in the middle left of the photo is not a result of PP - it's in the original RAW, so I guess it's natural after all.)

Here's how the original looks in DPP. When I took the shot I was experimenting with exposure, trying to not blow the skies and hoping the rest could be recovered.

Looks good to me but I have been told, tonight, my monitor might be a bit off calibration, so I will reserve a true critique until I can fine tune things on my end.

EDIT: Yeah I can Critique the flash and your reflection in her Sunglasses, if your going to do Post might as well clone that out as well.

Looks like the flash was either manually too low or somehow fooled in ettl with your subject being off centre. Sadly the recovery has failed to sufficiently correct the skin tones leaving her looking like she rode third class in an open wagon pulled by a steam engine.

Nobody puts you down like a Brit. :oops:

I'm just joking. Thanks for the honest feedback - I do appreciate it. Is this one better ?

First image is better. Skin tones in first are better. Maybe reduce the saturation in the first image and see what you have after that. She is the focus of the image so try and have close to natural skin tone :)
