    Is it just my uncalibrated display, or does her skin appear especially orange?

    Very orange on my (calibrated) monitor - as though the orange slider in lightroom had been pulled up to maximum saturation. On my iPhone, however, it only looked a little bit warm. ne_nau.gif

    Scott, I've got her pretty orange too on a calibrated screen. Also, I see the light on her face as kinda of flat and the right side and top of her hair (camera left) appears more blown out than hi-lighted.

    That said, I'll be happy to look at any image of your wife that you care to post.iloveyou.gif

    Here's an adjustment, let's see what happens. Pulled her skin back to R:225, G: 156, Blue: I forget

    I think it was a saturation issue more than a strict color problem.

    I got John's is the correct one. Hacks is still a little orange to me. I also noticed this earlier myself but was short on time. Not sure how pink the shirt should be?

    Wasn't looking at the shirt. If you like Scott, you can pull it back to red by erasing the adjustment layer on it before flattening the image.

    Also, if you prefer, I recropped to place her eyes on one of the Rule of Thirds lines.

    Hackbone - your try, er .. well, y'see, I ...

    Well, it's like this. I agree the original image was a tad orange, even on my non-calibrated but pretty reasonable laptop monitor. And I agree it needed to be de-oranged.

    That said, I dunno if you've achieved your goal. Something seems ... wrong, in "I applied a 10 per cent mid-eighties zombie flick filter" kinda way. (I'm attempting humour here. Not attempting to offend)

    As an aside, I find the blown-out background a little distracting. My initial instinct is to suggest knocking the exposure down a stop, then compensating with a flash pushed a stop (which is what I do on the Canon with the 580EX in such situations.)

    Ok, that was weird. I downloaded the original to tinker with, and walla it presented great.
    I thought it might be the hosting, uploaded the untouched "good" image to image shack that presented right, and it's back orange, wild.

    It would have been great to have her a little more forward to reduce the highlight on her hair. I like John's editsthumb.gif

    I just opened it in Gimp, it said "do I want to convert from c2 to RGB?" Is that the issue?

    I like Johns edit best. Thank you all for helping with this.. I am going to have to get a better montior. Mine sucks, I litterally can lean it back and forth and see colors I couldnt see with it straight up and down.

    I don't think it's all monitor, cause it's doing weird things on mine too. I went ahead in a quickie on Gimp, changed the hue and the saturation slightly, then saved back out. It might seem a little washed out, but was looking at skin tone mainly. By the way, which shirt color is closer lol?

    Her eyes look great, nice job overall, love the bokeh. Tough shot to take, the Sun as a backlight, and a flash or reflector for pickup.

    The background looks great to me, but she's a smidgen dark. I might running an exposure brush over her whole body and raise it slightly to bring her back up a tic. What lens you using?, man I love that bokeh, so creamy.

    I wouldn't swear to it, but I think the challenge with the skin tones on this photograph is caused by the face picking up reflection hue from the shirt she is wearing.

    It sounds like it might be a color space issue? As well as an uncalibrated monitor.

    How's this?

    Here is my version that looks "right" to me. Not having the original image is causing some serious JPG compression artifacts. Most of the artifacts were in the original image, but they are more pronounced the second time through the bit squasher.
