If you down load the images, take a close look at the skin tone & sky pixels.
I used a Konica Minlota Dimage 2 8mpx camera.
Settings are:
1. set at full manual mode
2. ISO 400 1/500 f/7.1 used in camera histograhm
3. RAW at 3264X2170 3:2
4. AEL center spot
5. Auto focus center
6. color set at Nat. sRGB
7. Anti shake off
8. Noise reduction off
9. Focal length 50
The picture shown looked realy good in the view finder but, here's what I did.
1. Used photoscape to open and preview raw image.
2. No pp done so you can see the original.
3. Saved 1 as Tiff, and 1 as jpeg
4. Opened in PS7 and saved to desktop for sending to you
Picture # 1 is the untouched Tiff
Picture# 2 is untouched Jpeg
Picture# 3 is a similar one using full auto mode.
Would the ISO 400 make that much noise?

I can't tell you what the answer is but I can GUARANTEE it lies in the camera settings. Read up about WB in the MANUAL mode.
