Default Too Blue ?

I took this of my nieces prom and wasn't happy with the background as there were cars and houses in it. So I used ps cs to delete the background and coloured it blue....What I'd like to know is.Is it to blue and does the colour clash ?

I personally think it would have looked better on a darker or white background because of the colour of the umbrella and her dress.

I know you didn't ask for other comments, but there are a couple spots that you missed...by her shoe, the back at the bottom of the dress, behind his knee, arm and ear and between his shoes.

I'm no good at matching colours. Yes I also noticed the parts I missed. All comments are welcome and thank you for taking the time to look and post your comment.

Yes.. I have to say that I find the color slightly to blue. I probably would have used a pastel color.. as the umbrella and the young mans tie are a pastel shade. I would have continued with that color scheme by selecting one of the colors from that. xx

I would probably stick with more neutral colors than something bright. The blue makes my eyes hurt.

The blue is too strong/ intense. I find it makes the skin tones seem off a bit, but that might be my older eyes. I agree about using a colour from the umbrella or other part of the shot. It would tie in better.
