Well I say this is above average for the technical side of it all.. Its perfect right out of the camera with the correct settings. I have enjoyed reading about all the details in your exif on your shots as well as viewing them..With that said enough browsing for me, I need to get back to these settings in my camera... :)

Awsome coloring here... I have to admitt I am starting to see more clearly...of just what digital can do and should do if the right settings are used.. Wich goes back to the first advice I should of followed when I started here.. John Setzler said in a comment..."Know your manual and camera inside and out.." I have to learn inside now.. :)

You are so good at looking at everything...
Your eyes are awesome! You must apperently really know the color management in digital technology and for printing..
Thats a plus...To me I would think that there was nothing wrong with this image.. Do you use the color palette in photoshop while reading and understanding the numbers?
Just wondering because of your comments so far...
Its really got me thinking about color management...
I am sorry not to offend you but I kind of giggled a bit when you made the statement about spending so much time with the technical issues and the camera capabilities...I agree with you..Now I just need to focus on what my camera does instead of the outcome or what other cameras do..
Though its all good to know about the technical things in photography and as many cameras I have been through I understand now what you are talking about as well as going through..... Sometimes I think I have it and I know my camera then other times haha wasnt right and it shows me..
My scores show for it as well.. So now that we are going through this walking through it step by step I am pretty sure I will get a awesome photo in the end... I hope anyways.. :) Ok back to the picture....factors to eyes and training thyself to study a image on the screen without distractions of other glares from lights and such...
I dont see how anyone does it in the daytime.. I may have to check this out tonight.. and see if I can tell any other differences.. By the way both of your shots are very good models.. like Charles said..very good keep up the good work and studying you will go far...

awwwhhh the sample paper to carry everywhere.... The first lesson in our photography meetup group this year was about setting the white balance and the exposure in your camera by taking a photo of a white card, black card, gray card, or the Kodak card that has all the colors I believe it would be 256 colors on that card. To be exact O had to look it up.. its the Kodak Polychrome, Colorflow, custom color card..(Gives you a true colors square for all the colors and a chart with all the values of the colors.) Mr. Parks (majoring in color science) used it during his demonstration...It was indeed the best 2 hours of non stop talk about color science, color management, and white balance....At the end when it was time for us all to go home...everyone left with headaches, I'll tell you my head was splitting open and others were complaining too..There is more than 2 hours of info he went through but after I started reading again about it all it started sinking.. Here you have the best color range for sure.. You can match up the colors in the light of your subject in a photo program when you take the photo of the card too. I have tried.. but my editing skills arent the greatest and I find myself skipping out on taking a pic of these 3 imporntant elements..white, black, and gray...You more than likely know about all of this, I just thought I share for others and to see how much I remember..Here is a site that I just found that really goes in debt with the Color balance and it says that a sample color card from wall paint that you can find in home depot, walmart...would do...its rather intersting.. //www.microscopyu.com/articles/digitalimaging/colorbalance.html

I really like the way this is with the mirror behind her. This is defanetly not a bad shot. Do you think if the mirrors werent there that this would still look the same as far as the light and brightness? I am asking this because I have a cabinet in my house and there is a mirror in it. Sometimes the mirror makes a good light reflector and brightens things up more them it would if I wasnt shooting in the direction of it. You can probably brighten it up just a bit but I think its fine really the colors in her skin are perfect..

Nice arrangements of shoes by color it balances the composition. I like the white trum and the concrete door frame shown but perhaps a little more at top could be shown to frame this out. I say this a 10 for fitting in the challenge description...
