Since I BROKE 3K somehow, I figured I would post an image ;)

My color correcting skills are not great, but here it is ;)

Oh it's sharp, but I have trouble with setting the white point and color corrections on images like this especially.

Every thing is relative, eh? My screen, your screen, my printer, your printer, my eyeball...

To me, it looks fine. You could fudge the white-balance in post processing (or “automatically” remove a color cast). You could set a custom white-balance before you start shooting. Or you could just not worry too much about it unless it is obviously off. Unless it is really important, I do the later.

Cheers,
Tim

p.s. Me thinks you are just being modest…
pp.s. What lens did you shoot that with?

I am my own worst critique ;) I don't think a custom WB will work for me. I shoot in ever changing lighting conditions.
