Bev,
As Endre said, you have entered a perfect shot for this weeks assignment. It fits the topic, was taken with the skills of a professional photographer and it was fine tuned by an artist.
Best of luck,
Tom
Thanks so much everyone!!! Been a busy week. Appreciate all the comments.
James:
yes, the gray card really made a difference for the white balance. I also did a custom setting on the 5dMK2 picture style for neutral, I moved the setting towards the yellow and I think it helped, too.
Well, why don't you tell the model Israel is a very nice place to visit? You can also add that there is a certain novice photographer anxious to get better.....
