Here is one of my first shots with my new D300 and a 50 f1.8.

Looks way too blue - is your monitor calibrated? I would imagine this is closer (always difficult when you don't know the subject ) But the whites of the eyes are usually a good guide.

Beautiful child.
I agree with Paul; much too blue and Paul's re-work appears more accurate.
I like shallow DOF, but with the arms in the image, find it a bit too shallow.

Paul, Thanks for the corrections. I did not do any PP to the pic except convert it to Jpeg. I really need to learn how to do proper PP .

Kingdon,
Paul is great at this sort of thing, and can probably give you a more sophisticated answer about white balance.
One quick color balance fix is to add a curves layer, select the white eyedropper tool, click on the whites of the eyes. You may need to experiment with clicking in different areas and may need to adjust the opacity of this layer. Using this alone will make the eyes a bit too white. In an image with true whites, blacks or neutrals, use the white, black or gray eyedropper tool in the same fashion. There are no obvious points to use in your portrait above.

I just used the grey eyedropper on the whites of the eyes- then backed off the result as it was too strong.

I like the pictures mood and eyes and focus and colors. I don't like the framed through hand. I wonder if you cropped in if it would improve. The following is cropped to avoid framed though joints and put eyes at 2/3.

I prefer this version Scott

Scott,
I really like what you did.
