Too red, too dark, or too saturated?

This looks better than the others to me, but I am currently using an uncalibrated laptop so take that with a grain of salt:D

Ya know....we do have a "Digital Darkroom" area at Dgrin that could have been a big help with all these calibration efforts?....and....you could have shared all your troubles, findings, and fixes there to help others.

Just a thought...

..and something weird is going on around the lobe of her left ear.....a halo of some sort......a dodge gone awry maybe?

Definately not too red. Of course, one question is what color is the model's skin. She is very pale here. Asking LR to white balance on her eye (which is nominally too white), pushes yellow +13 (toward yellow from blue) and tint +21 (toward magenta from green). I think that's a little off, but her skin tone seems more vibrant. The over-staturation checks showed the original to be a little blown on the bridge of her nose and her shoulder. Once the color temp is adjusted more of her nose and little of her forehead gets blown, so backing off the exposure 0.25 (1/4 stop) solved that problem.

Bear in mind, I'm not a professional, so this is my personal taste....
