Please don't laugh. I was volunteered to help with Santa photos and I have done NO flash photography and I had no portable remote lighting and the Santa stage was in a gym and I could not do any bouncing of the light etc etc...

Is there any way to fix this shot. I did try to bounce the light and the hair color does not look right and there are highlights on the faces etc.

    If you make the file available....I can have a go of it.....pretty sure I'll be able to give you the colors...send me a PM with a link to the original...or, if you shot it in RAW....you could use Media Fire.....a free file sharing server
