Default girls and cat


I was taking a shot of my nieces while they were playing ring around the rosey and caught this candid of the cat moving through the picture. During editing, I used the white balance tool and used the automatic color enhancement because the girls kind of looked pale. Do you think that it created more noise in the shot and it was too much?

No photo showing - also can you post your EXIF along with it when you get it to work?

I barely noticed the girls, they're so dark and the surroundings are so bright and over-saturated. They could be brightened a bit in PP, but your best bet is to reshoot and make sure you meter for the subjects to make them stand out from such a lush and colorful backdrop. What a great location and from what I can see your little models are lovely!

seems to me like you boosted the saturation way too much.
try lowering it down and you'll get ligher colors and the girls won't come out so dark brown.
