Too cool? not a fancy title, wb question...lol

having eyeball issues tonight...on both monitors. Seems one click up too yellow, one down too cool. Is this ok, or is it too cool?

Thanks.

funny, actually here posted looks much better than in my PS, so as is in this post, my eyes are telling me it's ok. yes..no...? lol

you are having issue because you have 2 different light source. Warm at the front, cool in the back. If you really want to fix it and you have LR4, use WB adjustment brush. Most of the time it is not that noticeable though.

Yeah, the lighting in there was crazy. I have not tried the actual wb brush in LR, just the overall slider. I'll give that a whirl. Thanks.

I pulled it in to LR and you were pretty close. I would bump up your yellows +5 (since it was a jpeg) and then that brings you up to where you should probably be. I love his expression.

Thanks. The expression is what made me want to try to process this shot. It almost made the trash due to motion blur, which was hard to control while dancing with such a low shutter, but anyway...yeah, I totally dig his expression...he is so content to be there in that moment holding his wife. I love it. Not a great photo, but I just love the expression.

Robin nailed it, as I read his post and thought of it after, the lights above the floor were warm yellow lights and the lights in background were cool led type lights. I was trying to treat it overall as same lighting. Yeah it can be done close, and you got it closer than me, and honestly...only us pixel peepers will most likely notice. lol.

Looks good to me. It's not like +5 on the yellow is going to make or break the picture at this point.

Agreed. I am just having issues "seeing" it on my new screen, so I like to bounce it off you folks until my brain connects the difference between "close" and "wtf".
