Paulina on the beach

Specifically looking for critique on the processing/colors. My laptop is new and after I calibrated it, my reds seem a little cartoonish on old photos.

Do these appear too warm or red? Let me know what needs to be dialed down.

Thanks!

Yes these photos seem a bit red and warm. Is the grass in the background supposed to be green? The grass is very muted and has quite a reddish affect.

Thanks Happy. The grass is actually brown with a little green mixed. At least, that's how it was in person and appears on my laptop. I'll have to check these on my PC when I get home on Saturday. Then I probably have to work on my color management workflow.

seems to have a color cast. did a curves adjustment to get this:

love these pics, seems fine to me. Her cheeks has a rosy glow but not too warm, skies are blue. Love the model's smile and wind blowing her hair.

The first two pictures are great, the third one's expression is ok, but the first two are great!

If the shoot is about the horse and the model, then only nr 1 is good. Nr. 2 i dont like because of all the hair of the model over the head of the horse, and with nr.3 i only see halve a horse.

I like # 1 and #2, nice work.

One thing I would like to see different about #1 is if the horses ears were perked forward instead of backwards like they are. At least coming from the husband of a wife who is into horse eventing whenever we take pictures of her or her friends horses they always require the ears to be forward to avoid a "ugly expression" on the horse.
