Too Much Split Toning??

Hi all!


The other day I thought it would be cool if this site had a forum section, and it looks like I (we all) got a sweet Christmas present. Thanks Bryan!


I've been playing around with the split toning features of Lightroom, and like anybody with a new hammer, everything is a nail. Brutally honest feedback would be appreciated! My intent was to warm up the highlights, and cool down the shadows. Did I over do it? Am I even close?


Thanks!

Merry Christmas Murph!


My overall feeling is that these images are toned too far toward red. That's my personal taste at least.

I'd agree with Bryan (no surprise there) and add that perhaps the highlights in images 1 and 3 have suffered a little as well. And as for the hammer, well, everything feels like my thumb.
