How are the colours in this photo ?
I calibrated my monitor last night, and things are looking kind of unusual to me right now.
Is he too red ? Too pale ?
Also could use some advice on dealing with the pin-light spots from the flash, if possible.
Focal length : 130mm
ISO : 200
EV : +2
Shutter Priority, 1/120 second
F5

Yeah, on mine it looks a little pale...pin lights? I assume you mean catch lights?? They look fine to me, small but thats to be expected using a single strobe and no soft box or modeling lights. Nice shot!!

You have an exposure override setting (EV) of +2. That is a lot. Why? This will have a significant effect on overall exposure quality. Unless there is a compelling reason to do so I would suggest that EV should be set at 0 under normal conditions.

Because I was trying to get the shot without flash first, but it didn't work for me, and I forgot to set it back to 0 after.

I think the colors looks really good, skin tones are the right colors and the blue eyes really pop through.
