Lady in Red

auraflora · August 12, 2005

This photo was shot in a studio with flash strobes. I experimented with the white balance and set it on tungsten, despite the fact that flash was used. The result, as you can see, is a bluish tone on the lady's face and background.

I'd like to know--which version of the Lady in Red do you perfer--the one with the bluish tone or the one without it.

Thanks for your comments.

I prefer this shot from the two. I think the second is a little overpowering (for my eyes at least) and the first one seems more subdued and relaxing.

I'm the opposite and prefer the second, I like how vivid it is and how it jumps out at you... that and I just feel a bit of a strong blue overlay in the first one.
