Default Colour issues

I tend to make my images too blue. I hope this is part of the learning process!

I understand Apples don't need calibration?

I tried a digital grey Kard but the children were moving so the sample shot has a different light level and so the sample shot makes the others too yellow.

Humph! Any advice? How is the colour on this one? All cc much much appreciated (I am going to burn the background to remove distracting green etc when I get the colour right)

on my monitor, it looks a bit dark. the lower area, from the chin, down, the color looks good. the sleeves has no color tint and i guess, this is the right color. but her cheeks are too red.
i don't find the green oof lights distracting as they are not too bright.

Hi Ed. Yes the poor sausages have ezcema and I have turned down the reds in those areas already. More needed then?

ps good tip I didn't think to look at the white - doh I have been trying to go by the skin colours and they are so difficult to see properly when I am so inexperienced.
