I think the different temperatures of the all the lights I'm using is throwing things off. I've turned my white balance down to a cooler temperature to try to compensate.
I'd like to add strobes with softboxes to my kit, but I want to make sure I understand what I'm doing with them before I write that check.

You just reminded me I need to check that this new monitor is calibrated correctly!

Lovely woman, interesting pose, no clutter, but I think your light is the problem as the skin tone is off a little. Has that faintly space-alien look...

When mixing types of lights, it's tough to get skin tones right.
