Please adjust this photo. I am interested in seeing how others would approach the picture.

 

Nikon 7100 18-140 lens f8 1/60sec ISO 400 camera flash "auto" white balance

 

It appears that color balance is not correct.

 

Thank you !

Here's what I would do with the color. I messed around with a lot of sliders in Lightroom, but basically my goal was to get the right percentages RGB on the woman's throat. I ended up with something like 67% 61.6% 57.1%. It varies on other throat points but the % ratio pretty much stays the same. I don't normally correct by the numbers, but it seemed to work ok here to me anyway.

In Lightroom, hold down shift, option, command and then hit delete. That would result in the appropriate adjustments.

It's the half-eaten, not-so-hidden chicken salad sandwich that makes this photo a keeper!

Right. Needs some cropping to accentuate the main subject.

Ross, before making suggestions that may not already have been made, did you add the white area before posting this image?

[michaellinder]

Ross, I opened your image in ACR and, feeling somewhat lazy, I asked the software to do an automatic white balance adjustment. If anything, the improvement was negligible. Also, I checked the color balance with nothing to report.

Thanks All ! After posting this request I calibrated my laptop screen, and that helped in making colors look more natural. And yes- I added the white rectangle....
