Senior Portraits - Fixed??

I posted a senior shoot few days ago and it was pointed out that my photos appeared quite red.

I believe I got them fixed- any thoughts?

Hi Aaron! These are nice! If you go by the numbers, you still have some room to play. I think #2 and #4 could still stand a slight warming. I boosted yellow just a bit. It makes the entire photo slightly warmer (notice the pleasing warmer walls). I tried to keep in mind she is a red-head and tends towards pinker skin. But she still seemed too pink to me in #2 and 4. I use the tutorial on Dgrin for skin. These look good on my monitor and I recently got some prints back that were dead-on so I think my calibration is good! (Who knows for sure! ) I think she will be happy with these even if you didn't make final adjustments, but generally warmer is better for skin.

Thanks for the comments and the examples-
I guess it comes to personal preference on the fine tuning.
For me your example of #2 is a too yellow in the face and other parts of the picture loose or change overall feel. I.E. I like the wall tone in your example of number 4 but the bench in my version.

I'll see what the customer thinks. Thanks again
