  • Comment. I'm not sure how much it really matters, but there is something a bit odd with the colours on her shirt (e.g. look under her left arm). 109.153.244.21 (talk) 03:05, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reds are notoriously easy to blow, especially with a bright color like this. This image was desaturated by 30 or so and the reds were still overwhelming. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:19, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • I agree with you, although I think the image has been a bit overprocessed. I don't think the reds were blown this bad at the time of the photo (unless the photographer accidentally overexposed and had to darken it in post), I think the blown reds were introduced by editing. Just my suspicion though. Also, it probably doesn't help that the WB is a bit off. There's a definite red tint to the photo, which is probably introduced by the red wall on her left (camera right). Even so, it's fairly easily corrected. Mind if I upload over the top of it to correct it? (nothing I can do about the shirt though) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:47, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, it's done. I adjusted the WB of the background, largely excluding her to preserve the colour of the reds on her shirt and skin tones. Also brightened the background by about 0.25EV. Just my personal preference there. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 10:37, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
