This any better? I didn't really notice ant discoloration. I was working off the tan cushion she was sitting on and that color appeared to be true. Thanks for your input, I think it looks better.

Harry, you need a technique to tell you when your color is off. Have you ever tried the "Average Blur + Levels" technique?

No idea what you're talking about

It appears like you may have over charged me from reading your other post for $13.00.
You have no idea what I am talking about? I pass on your books. Have a nice day and a good shoot.

These are the $13 books and are NOT the ones you were dealing with me on. There are 6 biooks here and you were talking about 12 different books.

Like the look and feel of #1 a lot. The color adjustment from fotoartist helps IMHO. #2 is OK, but the color pallet is way off for me as well and not as compelling a pose. What year were these from? Old, or new modified to looking old?

These were taken, maybe, 10 years ago. It was a soft focus phase I was going through. I like more of a "figurestudy" and not tack sharp look. I, usually, don't have my model to look directly at the camera or me, I use shadows and try not to be explicit. It appears my taste is in the minority.

Harry, were neighbors. I like your shots. My comments were only directed at the color casts. I also said I don't know if you use Photoshop or you won't get the Average Blur reference I used and which I used to correct the color in your shots that I worked on and sent back to you. But Since there was no acknowledgment I should have known better not to do this.

Sorry but I did not see your rework of "susie" . Where might I see it? Try my home e-mail harry.neuman@comcast.net. No problem, I have no problem with someone trying to help me. There's no one out here that does this kind of work. No I don't have access to Photoshop

I believe the reworked images -- greatly improved, Fotoartist -- are in this thread!!!

Ok, Senior Moment, I finally saw your rework and agree colors are better; however, I have no idea how to get there.

Again, nice work. My preference is towards the first one.
