Default White balance off?

I had my WB set to cloudy (it was very dreary outside), and these came out pretty warm. I adjusted it a little in raw, but I still think it might be too warm. Thoughts?

50mm
f/4.5
1/125 sec
ISO 100

It does look too yellow to me, but that's a quick fix. It's a great shot though. They all look happy and smiling and relaxed. Nice job!

I like the shot. But I would cool it off a touch more. Also I would crop in a little tighter to the family. Other than that it looks good!

looks good on my monitor, just teeny weenie bit yellow. which is easy to correct in levels by clicking on the black eyedropper and click on the darkest part of the black sleeves.

I don't think it looks too yellow at all... not with my first impression and not even when I stared at it for while. It looks great to me.

Here's what it would look like with a little more blue.

Just let me know if you want me to take it down.

I've kept looking at this a few times, and I finally figured it out. I don't think it's too yellow, I think it's just a smidgen too green. And I mean JUST a tiny bit (in the shadows, the midtones and highlights look fine).

Really nice work, Mandy. And way to go on getting not only the parents but all three little ones looking at the camera and happy! Not an easy feat. Fix the slight green tint and you'll be good to go.

+1. My first thought was too much green. I like the "warmth" level...
