Post Your Best Portrait Shots!

I guess, in a way, it's kind of hot, no matter what the color temperature, but discussion along those lines is probably going into the inappropriate, so humor aside....


It looks like you've got a flash in it, and there seems to be a bias towards the bluer side of color temperature, so I'd probably bring it down, just a little. However, keep in mind that the flash isn't the dominant light in the background. I'd take a look at the 'flash' color balance preset in DPP, or whatever software has that preset, and see how it looks for reference. However, I'm not above advocating balancing to taste.


I should qualify, that my laptop monitor hasn't been calibrated in awhile, and my calibrated CRT monitors are packed up in the basement, as we prepare to go all gypsy, so take my observations lightly.


Content wise, I'd say, there's always something pretty cool about a picture of somebody taking a picture [], this included.

Thanks Colin for your valuable comments. I did use an ETTL flash(580 exII) with a diffuser as a fill in light. I will try playing with the flash option in DPP to see if it corrects the colors.
