I'm usually surprised at how well my older son poses for photos. Most of the time he really nails posing without much direction from me. In this instance, however, he missed.

Light was from the large patio doors facing the setting sun to the west and from an overhead ceiling fan with compact fluorescent bulbs. Talk about a tricky adjustment - getting the fluorescent bulbs and the sun to balance was challenging.

Post-processing:
* Cropped a little
* Adjusted yellow, orange, and red saturation
* Pulled blacks out a little
* Adjusted contrast to compensate
* Clarity / Vibrance / Saturation adjustments

Add some red and yellow, to get rid of the blue/cyan cast. strenghten the black and neutral tone. Now the hair is blond, the skin tones less cold, and the rasberry reds, become fire engine...RED.
