Please check these for green tint

I just got a new s-ips monitor and calibrated it. As a final check, I dug up some proofs I had printed at WHCC to compare. The contrast and brightness are spot-on but I now notice a green tint on every photo. This occurs most noticeably on the black and white shots but is present on the color ones as well. Not sure why I hadn't noticed the tint before. Maybe because they still looked better than my old Dell TN panel was showing them...
I was hoping someone with a calibrated monitor could check these shots and confirm that this is a printer-side problem and that my photos don't actually have a green tint.
Thanks!

The only shots where I see a green cast that "shouldn't" be there are the shots of the Lincoln memorial. And due to the angle of the two different shots. I'm fairly convinced that this green tint is an off camera light somewhere in the memorial. Not you.
There are green tints on other shots. But not the way you describe it.
IIf you are validating a new monitor against old proofs that you knw are good. I'd reference your old proofs as a benchmark unless the monitor you used before was a pos. I think it may be your monitor that's casting the green your seeing....
That shot of Licncoln coming out of the ground is pretty cool eh! They are going to move that sculpture to some rich dude's house sometime next year. It's a shame.

B&W has no tint on my uncalibrated Dell work monitor. More importantly, the RGB values are all equal throughout.
Is the green tint on the monitor or in the printed photos? Most inkjet printers have a hard time with perfectly balanced greys, although you usually see a purple or blue tint.

Prints look great now with natural light coming from behind me.
Must have been something about this morning's light with the overhead lamp on....
Thanks guys.

When evaluating B&W images, take the time to read the pixel values in Photoshop or, if you use a Mac, a Digital Color Meter. No matter how the image looks on your monitor, if R=G=B, then this is a color neutral gray tone and the image is a true B&W.
If it does not LOOK black and white then that is a monitor calibration issue, of a printing profile issue.
Nice B&Ws in your galleries too! Nice B&W conversions.
