Miss FL.

Just moments after being crowned last night. Very tough mixed lighting (no flash allowed due to TV cameras) f/2.8 300mm ISO 400

Great job, especially under those conditions. You caught her "moment" wonderfully. I just wish that pink piece wasn't there. My eyes keep going there and wondering what it is.

IMHO, a fantastic shot, better than could have been expected.

I dunno about my monitor...she looks kindda yellow-orangey... lights?

Yep, pink and yellow gels on the overheads, blue spots shooting back into the camera from the sides (maybe 7' above the stage floor) tungsten bulbs along the stage edges and front. Did the best I could to "normalize" the skin and if anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear them...

select skin... unsaturate...adjust hue...adjust levels and curve?.. worth a try.
