Hi,
Can everyone chime in on which skin color they like. I seem to always have trouble with this.
Thanks

I like 1, which is red, but for this picture not overly red and still tasteful
2 seems too cool / blue and 3 too yellow.

Fluke

I too like the warmth in number one. £ looks natural but less warm. Beautiful girl, stunning.

number 1 is fine for me, a little less red, and it's perfect.

The only problem is lighting, I'm not crazy about this shadow on face, you should direct your light according to a reflector on the other side (piece of white paper is fine) or less light from your light, cobra I suppose.A little more sharpness on face to.
Nice shot anyway.

Keep in mind that everyone's monitor is a little different.

And the monitor I'm on right now is my government issue POS - no color calibration so I'm not in a position to render an opinion at the moment.

That having been said, I offered up the link to the tute so that YOU can make a better determination of what is right for YOU. Opinions are like belly buttons, everyone's got one and most are not worthy of note. The only opinion that really matters is yours.

Thanks so much everyone; I appreciate the comments.

As an fyi..I had the light at a high 45 left of camera, and a gold reflector to the right;
