Lighting Nightmare! Please help!
I took this shot with the available lighting because the woman in the photo is disabled and could not reposition herself into more favorable light. She is sitting under 3 of those cork-screw flourescent lights, with a window over her right shoulder. The lights make the skintones too red, and the window makes the skintones too blue (pale and unnatural). The following shot (edited), was acceptable to her, as the kitten was the subject she wanted focus on anyway. If anyone knows how I could have gotten a better shot (without editing), please let me know.
