i think i know why...my screen is not calibrated is it?
on my screen the WB seems off...so i put on a red filter and it looks ok
so now i use another screen to see after ur comment. indeed its pinkish
my bad bad mistake
the first pic,the skin tone look yellowish on my screen.
Anyone else can confirm?
She need a change of tee,a lighter coloured would look more refresh.
my screen is not calibrated also,
probably that's why, our monitors can't meet... hee hee...my screen is not calibrated also,
i'll not do the enhancement too much then...try to keep it as close to the original as possible...in this way i think i'll know where i need to improve on and take note
For a first timer, you seem to have a natural eye for composition. White balance can be fixed in post-processing, so I don't see much of a problem there :thumbsup:
:thumbsup:
Good try for the first time!
You may like to go lower for some shots, such as #1, 3 and 4, so that your model has eye level contact with you, unless that is your intention in the first place. A good guage will be to place your camera at chest level of the model.
Thanks for sharing!

Yes, she's a super girl. And reasonable start to portraiture.
The 1st pic is indeed too yellow (as per my calibrated screen). Here's what I think she should look like with a little tweaking on the WB.
Pic 2,3 are too reddish pink.
The more you shoot, the "luckier" you get :thumbsup:

overall is consider very good is for a new attempt on people shots,
just some inconsistency on skin tone.
I like the way she look in #2,
and the last one is a keeper.
#4, you have a nice lighting there, but you have blown the highlight details, and the "chicken feet" posing spoil everything.

Still an amateur myself but
#1 - as others said, white balance is off. Fastshot, my monitors have not been professionally calibrated but I have used Apple's calibration tool - the model's skin tone in your edit appears very pale leaving it looking a bit ghostly and unnatural.
#5 - I would liked to have seen the shot if you were half a metre to the right. That would create a more interesting background, with the out-of-focus pillars contrasting with the in-focus model.
